Hi Linda.....I guess I should answer this for all in case anyone else has the same thoughts. The fact is, you just can't police people nor do we want to become a Kennel Nazis. We have to assume that when someone signs the code, they have a sincere and honest desire to be guardians of the Breed. Yes, we realize that many use the BC and PC affiliation for their own advertising purposes and still continue to be crooks or worse.....that is the very reason that the BC is being revised. Fewer people will probably want to sign the new code because it is stricter and will have penalties for violations....BUT....those who DO sign will be among the elite group who have their kennel listed as referrals on the PC website. We can't invade anyone's privacy or stand as kennel police, but hopefully, we can weed out a few of the most unscrupulous breeders. We will let everyone know when the new BC is complete and ready for you to sign. Thanks for your interest and concern.
