That was why I was so impressed with what happened in England..Their kennel club stepped up to the plate and demanded changes...now it took the awful documentary to show the public what was really going on but at least change was started. It will be interesting to see if there is any backlash with the AKC here in the states.
Well maybe the AKC needs to be exposed also. I agree they are not likely to stop as long as it is a large protion of their income.
