So what the hell went wrong with the Misson ? Where has the Integrity gone? [playing footsie with puppy-millers] Purebred dogs ........... my Great Aunt Fannie ! 'Dedication' held in the desire of including inferior , fast money Designer Mongrels ! What about the decades of unstoppable love, work , blood, sweat and tears thousands and thousands of worthy breeders put into developing a breed that the Godlike AKC will recognize ? The majority of our dog communities seem to be "Going to hell in a hand-basket."

Founded in 1884, the AKC and its affiliated organizations advocate for the pruebred dog as a family companion, advance canine health and well-being, work to protect the rights of all dog owners and promote responsible dog ownership."
