If the post gets garbled, email me and I'll send an attachment. I want to pose a question. It is only a question. And, do not mistake my position, I am against PAWS, not as it is written, but as it might be enforced. Now, the question. What can the AKC do about a puppy mill, other than refuse to let them register the puppies? This just forces the puppy mill to register with the UKC, or other registry that has no enforcement arm. The AKC has no way to stop a puppy mill, as the law now stands. PAWS will give the AKC a way to enforce the laws through the department of agriculture. That may be why they are behind PAWS. The theory is not a bad one, the terms of PAWS may be a problem, but not the purpose.
