a PS to my previous post

1. I do not support improper breeding done by anyone, including CKC members , nor the selling of puppies by anyone knowingly bred improperly.

2. there are many Clubs other than CKC, they are just not recognized under Federal legislation - but they are breeder Clubs, usually for a specific breed only..

3. I have done my best on this subject to listen to and investigate all angles to the problem of improper breeding and am aware of most of the agendas which exist in the public realm - and I know many of the misconceptions which apply to the question of improper breeding, I was a member of the Federal government process which brought in new regulations for puppies entering Canada. I am aware of the work the then Justice Minister, Kim Campbell did regarding breeding in Canada but nothing could be done within Canada on a Federal basis, it is strictly a Provincial area of responsibility - that is why I urge everyone to press their Provincial governments to change their Animal Care Acts.

As for reporting abuses to the CKC, the source of my dog which has just passed away, that breeder was reported many times to CKC and in fact the breeder was taken to Court many times, and always won and to this day I think, do not know for sure, is still a member of CKC - the proper legal rules are just not in place to deal with improper breeding and breeders.

I also urge people to have an open mind and really learn about puppy mills, what they are, what defines a puppy mill and to also learn about the many groups involved, some doing good, others just preying on the public for funds - I know of one organization in the USA, who collects approximately 100 million dollars a year but only spends about 500,000 dollars on direct animal care - isn;t that wonderful - in my humble opinion, that is outrageous !

BUT again, not speaking for any group, I know the only possible solution is Provincial action in their animal care acts - and the proper regulation of the source of puppies, the breeding source. Is it the full answer, nope - but it is the most logical.......... I do not understand why all breeders would not support this option ...
