IMO the AKC should be held accountable. As that is where all the millers are registering to, because and AKC dog is more valuable and holds more prestige for the Petshops and Brokers and BYB. It is really amazing to think how much change would come if it all started up top at the AKC  |
I agree. When company becomes too big and loses sight on the morals on which they started from they can not continually keep an eye on the quality. They are trading in their ethics for $$$. The Breed clubs should step away from the AKC.
AKC is part of this false sense of security that people receive when they buy a dog from a pet store. I don't believe that the light switch is going to switch on for people as a mass when it comes to the dangers of buying from a irresponsible source ( breeder, pet store, w/e), for example thats why we have laws against illicit drug use.
