Yes. Saw that. I thought everyone was subject to "random" inspections before, so I didn't give it a whole lot of thought. Are folks upset about it? In a message dated 3/14/2007 8:59:30 P.M.

Stormy http://www.akc.org/about/chairmans_report/2007.cfm?page=3 The Board recently adopted enhancements to our inspection protocols which I strongly believe will continue to strengthen overall compliance for AKC breeders using our registry. The AKC spent more than $5.7 million in 2006 to ensure the accuracy of its registry and the care and conditions of dogs raised by AKC breeders. New guidelines that are being implemented by the Compliance department include: â?¢ For the first-time ever, breeders who register 4 to 6 litters annually with AKC will be randomly selected for inspection. â?¢ As an added incentive for AKC breeders currently inspected who register 7 to 24 litters annually, we will waive one 18-month inspection cycle for those who pass two consecutive AKC inspections. After the waiver, they will be placed back on an 18-month inspection schedule. "You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result."
