I do think it's very sad more haven't contributed to the discussion but feel guilty too as I've not been as involved as I could have been, on this and other AR threads. I think bc I did hold the attitude that - Yeah, it goes on but not much I can do about it.
I do believe without significant pressure from the breed clubs things will not change at the AKC - general public awareness will not change them. Look at the puppymill subject and how many years AR has been trying making the public aware. All of their efforts and the results haven't been that great. Even the new law passed in Okla. lacks real teeth - it appeared to me just another way for the State to collect fees and taxes - enforcement will be a joke.
The idea of a "premier" pure breed registry is the way for exhibitors to go.....dump the AKC!
Hey Woogie...in your reading did you happen to find the reason Cavanuagh left AKC in the first place? It would be nice to think it was because his ethics were of a higher caliber.
