And for the record, I didn't get that anyone was making fun or making light of puppy mills. What I got from her post was that it seems that an inordinate amount of energy is being used in preventing parti's from being accepted by the AKC when the energy would be much better spent if everyone pulled together and focused on the bad breeding practices out there that affect ALL dogs, including those that seem inordinately bent on breeding the correctly colored "teacups".
And yes, Woogie- I agree that the AKC has a hand in the support of puppy mills. They talk the talk, but they sure don't walk the walk. They are still registering dogs that are far too small to meet standard, too. |
Oh this is definitely true! My Barney and Daisy have AKC registrations and they come from The Mill. And guess what? The average buyer doesn't know about pedigrees. I am ashamed to admit I was an average buyer...until I bought my Teddy who has a pedigree to be proud of from. He had a lot of relatives who were champions. Barney and Daisy have PHONEY AKC papers, I look at them now and what a joke. To think I actually sent them in to get the papers from the AKC. The AKC is part of the culture and it's disgusting. I'd like to send them all my dogs medical bills for the last 10 years.
