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.
Well... first of all - define "puppy mill". *I* have been called a puppy
mill because, heaven forbid, I had three litters in one year AND (at the time)
I had three different breeds (heavy sarcasm). Oh, and I didn't do every
"test" known to mankind before breeding.
But, aside from that... It isn't AKC's JOB to "stop puppy mills". They are
a registry.
As for the truly SUB-STANDARD breeders... there are (or should be) STATE
laws that will, and have stopped them. In some cases those state laws may
need
amending, and in MANY cases they need enforcing... but this is NOT a federal
issue.
