I hope the Akc is trying to better control breeders. Maybe that will put a stop to some of the puppy mills and bybs. I don't believe in breeding dogs that aren't up to standard, which I know that the AKC can't really control that. That's just my opinion. Not sure what the breeders are like in the UK, but here in Germany they are having problems with dishonest breeders that are falsifying pedigrees and such. ~Lacey
