Hi Marilyn,
We are extremely relieved that the top two executives of AKC are not going to
validate this company by their appearance at the Hunte Corporation's
celebration day.
According to the Neosho Daily News, this company employs 6 Veterinarians, 140
people, has a 32,000 sq. ft. facility in three locations, "ships puppies to
most major metropolitan cities and many foreign countries, including Japan,
Spain, Chile, Argentina, Mexico and Canada."
This sure sounds like a puppymill.
How and when did the "rumor" arise that the AKC representatives were going to
be present at this celebration? And did the "high" places assure you that
this is only a rumor?
Thanks, Donna Hovey
