Not sure what this has to do w this link
? I thought this was about the animal cruelty case against Tiffany Wilkerson-Hood? If she was a member of the AKC, I would be just as appalled by the animal abuse and just as appalled by ppl who are defending it.
Just an FYI, Biewers are new to a lot of us. A lot of us don't know much about them but find them to be very good-looking dogs. When ppl defend such deplorable acts, it doesn't give ppl who admire Biewers but do not own (yet?) a warm, fuzzy feeling.
I have seen threads on this site about animal abuse at puppy mills that had been shut down. Some of these were registered w the USDA and AKC. I found the conditions of those places just as deplorable, and I know of other AKC breeders who are appalled also. Good breeders of any breed or any registry should stand up to these kind of "greeders".
