Gemy is intellectual and eloquent, I'm not.
I think the animal rights people are generally kooks and haters and breeders have become a modern day target.
It's too bad the AKC has to support commercial breeding, but that will soon be all that's left because animal rights organizations like HSUS, ASPCA and PETA are crushing the rest of us.
I fled Massachusetts a couple of years ago due to an increasingly breeder hostile legal environment. It's nearly impossible to find a decently bred Yorkie in Massachusetts, and many people now drive through multiple states for my puppies, leading me to feel we're heading to the extinction of hobby breeders, at least those aiming for quality.
It's sad, as my Yorkies have been such a lifeline for me. I'm sorry for people in the future who won't be able to experience devotion to and from a pet, thanks to Animal Rights and the "public" who can't see what's happening.
