I don't have a problem with pet owners having a vote. I have great respect for pet owners and I do realize and appreciate that pet owners spend years caring for the dogs that we are producing. However, I have a problem with the opinions that I have heard expressed by pet owners concerning the AKC issue. I believe that misinformation runs rampant through the pet owner population. Not just you....many other pet owners as well. I've attending meetings in both clubs. Where did I hear health testing discussed the most? ACKCSC. Who has recently taken steps to educate judges as to how a dog should be presented in the ring? ACKCSC. Which club has a limit on how old a boy must be before he is bred? AKC Which code of ethics has the most strongly worded encouragement to health test your breeding animals? ACKCSC in my opinion, although it is is certainly just a matter of opinion. Which club makes visits to breeders premises? AKC Which club requires DNA testing on frequently used stud dogs? AKC Which club requires a permanent form of identifying imports? AKC Which membership application quizzes the applicant about what breeds of dogs they are breeding and have bred in the past? ACKCSC Which membership application inquires about how many litters you have produced in the past? ACKCSC And last but certainly not least.......which club is it that is inspecting puppy mills and fining puppy millers? Certainly not the CKCSC. Myra
