I agree with Linda. While it MAY sound harmless to a few it really sets the stage to 'devalue' the CH before my dogs names if someone can just purchase one. Additionally, AND worse yet, is that it not only incourages, but AIDS IN, the potential for defrauding the general public when someone uses such a document to increase sales/increase fees charged/increase STATUS of animals that HAVE NOT been judged against an approved standard of our parent club! The only reason someone would want such a document is for bragging rights or profit. Its like 'buying' a college degree - what can it possibly hurt, right? It hurts all those who put in their time, money, HEART to finish a dog AND it hurts all those that use titles as a gage to choose between reputable/knowledgable persons and those who AREN'T!!!
