What bothers me also is that I feel that if a breeder shaves down every single dog they own all the time, like you see on that site, then they obvisously don't put alot of their time into taking care of their dogs and must only want ONE thing from them. None of those dogs were groomed and the white one's look brown. I know that clipping them down is done by some for reasons such as babies on the way, summer clip, ect. I have done this myself. I just did one of my boys. However , there is a fine line there.
I'm not really all that familiar with usda and their procedures. I don't personally know any usda liscensed breeders either. I can only hope that the paws act doesn't go through, because for me personally I could not follow usda rules as I feel they are not in the best interest of MY dogs. My friend was telling me recently concerning the paws act, that if it were to pass, and a breeder is already being inspected by the AKC, then usda will not interfere with that. I don't know how much truth is in that or if its a fact, but I surely hope so. |
