and Jeannie...thanks :) - I have tried everything. Short of reformatting my computer I just can't fix it to read pdf files...and it bites ! |
I'm not saying I hate them, but they are high priced. The term "Mutt" as I use it isnt meant to be derogatory as much as its just referring to a mixed breed. I have owned and loved many mixes. I am aware that there is alot of pedigree dogs that originated from mixes, but I'm concerned on the standards becomming too low with AKC regulations. I have no problem with them competing its just registration concerns I would have. |
So glad to see this discussion going more indepth. If people would read the survey they would see it is not about breeding and registrations. I personally feel there is no harm in allowing spay/neutered mixed breed dog the ability to compete in agility etc. I feel strongly the AKC should not be a register for mixed breed dogs as we have enough of those already. Personally, I do not want AKC to have more power in legislation regarding dogs. To many self interest groups involved that are interested in their pocketbooks (Hunt Corp). I prefer to have an organization which is interested in all animals have the power. Judy, I am sorry but I disagree with you about people breeding to breed unless it is to "better a breed". This country is destroying over 5 million animals a year (this is based on the last statistics from 1999) so you can image what the number is today. I am fully in favor of people adopting mixed breed dogs from rescues, animal shelters and the Humane Society. I have one myself, along with 8 Yorkie rescues and 1 Biewer. |

He has even been sponsored into a German Sheppard Club by a well known name within AKC.....Yes, Hunt is a great wholesaler of dogs and brings them into the USA by the hundreds from other countries.... |

I never said that. I do agree with you about not giving self interest groups power through the AKC. I'm still not voting because I just don't know enough about the backstories to vote either way. Judy |
