This isn't true either. There have been many state laws regarding kennel conditions that have been passed recently and the AKC has been against every single one of them. Most pet owners don't bother to even register their dogs with the AKC, they say, "I'm not breeding or showing, so therefore I have no interest in registering my dog. The AKC is governed by breeders, not pet owners. I would be against this bill if it did the things some say it would do. I'm an advocate for the small breeder, but the type of breeder I’m for doesn’t sell her dogs to people sight unseen. This same thing has happened with every state law that has been passed as well, breeders are in an uproar and say it will do things that it doesn't do. This will only affect those breeders who sell over a website, it will not affect those breeders who sell from their homes. May I ask you, what’s wrong with these breeders having a license? That’s the thing that would change, they would need a license.
