They are the best Registry out there but we must demand better. Like Nancy said, we have to work to have state laws past that will better protect our pets and then we can demand they close alot of these mills down. |
You can look at their financial statement...it is all on their website...you can see how much they have spent on inspections.
They have always been not for profit...
Since the day I came to YT I have always stated we have to change the laws..and I have posted about AKC and their greed. I do not think it is acceptible to say "well they are trying" as they are helping to kill millions of dogs. Please spend some time on their website reading all of their board meetings...look at their comments about volumn breeders and Hunte Corporation entertaining them to register their puppies. Hunte Corporation is the largest provider of dogs to pet shops. I was shocked as I so wanted to believe AKC was protecting the purebred dog but they were protecting their pockets.
I grew up with AKC dogs but all of us have learned that it boils down to the breeder...period!
