Many commercial breeders have left, and that’s why you find the proliferation of bogus registries, many of the registries were started by the commercial breeders themselves. So we need to change state laws.
Seriously, there seems to be a hidden agenda going on here. If I were involved in the clubs that used these woman’s’ registry, I think I would want to vote to have them taken off the board, or find another registry, but I don’t think this says that the people who are using the registry are bad, only that what Tiffany allegedly did was bad. |
I know some on this thread have expressed concern for the dogs (and children) if the allegations are true. I don't understand why there is not more concern about a rotting dog in someone's bedroom. Like said by others, wouldn't you want someone like that off your board? I would. If I didn't realize that was going on in someone's home, when I did find out, I would want to maintain the credibility of the registry I belonged to.
I would feel the same way regardless of which registry this pertained to.
