Well, all I can say, is THANK GOD SOMEBODY HAS THEIR PRIORITIES RIGHT!!! Never mind the total devastation this area is inundated with, never mind the human dustress and frustration and sorrow in the midst of catastophic storm damage! Thank God, they have the time to go forth and make certain everyone with intact animals, has gone and made the correct attempts to secure a necessary kennel license. We have fought this on all levels of government, and the number of dogs has dropped from 12 breeding females down to 7. These zealots (PETA, HSUSA) have been overheard to announce, "Next year, we will get it down to 3, and then the next year, we will be done with this for good!!!" So.....you think you want to breed dogs and do it all the right ways? Do all the correct vetting and registering your dogs? You want to produce the best puppies that can be produced, that are the benchmark of the breed standard??? The only people that are going to get around this untouched are small puppy mills and BYB...they do not advertise, they do not register litters, they fly quietly under the radar and sell their babies out of a box, from the trunk of their car on the side of the road or a parking lot...cash and carry, no way to track them down....I was all over this for the last 2 years, begging people to sign petitions on the AKC site....and it is here now!...I am sorry for your situation Carmen.
