"The fact that our pet have the right to vote and our CODE OF ETHICS is 2 of the things that puts this CLUB heads above the rest!!!!! Kathy Conrad"
Interesting statement especially about "the pets having a right to vote"...but to go beyond that funny statement, I quess she has not witness some of the "breeders" that had or who still have registration abilities with this club...who had or have very questionable practices in this breed...but their books were in order. What did or does the "code of ethics" do to stop or limit them??? Yes...they are good on paper and in theory...but there is not any absolutes but there are "gray areas". And this type of PR is now being addressed by AKC franciers by being instructed to bring people up on ethical charges who make these statements implying that a dual registered dog is superior to the public...thus they could lose their ability to show in AKC. I believe the letter from the ACKCSC was posted on this list. You can read it for further clarification. I must add...both venues have strengths and weaknesses...what I meant by that was the CKCSC-USA versa AKC. Again to get back to the original discussion, the ACKCSC is for those interested in the sport of dogs...if one want to form an auxiliary organization for pet owners that would serve those defined interest...they should do so!!! In organizational dynamics...you cannot be cross purpose...this is what brought on the greatest division in this breed in the USA and reinforces that feeling worldwide, that we are viewed as "Ugly Americans". I quess we are a "soap opera society"...but I am still proud to be a "yank".
