Great post Peggy!!    I completely agree!
Refusing membership to a Distributor of puppy mill puppies into this Club would 
NOT
have made us "elitists"  and "snobs".   
It would have proved us to have a Code of Ethics!!!

  Well, I guess I have to disagree with Syd and Kris.  Not entirely, but I do 
have to disagree. 
      I don't think a club has to be elitist...but when there are NO  
requirements, we end up with the 
  biggest puppymiller in the country, perhaps the world, in our midst...and 
that should be offensive
   to every single one of us.  The Parent Club has a puppymiller in it!  I 
think it's disgusting.  

   Every breed has those people...in the elitist clubs too.  But nobody else 
has the biggest
   puppymiller in the world.I guess we can call ourselves an elite club for 
that fact, now.

      What's wrong with meeting some requirements, anyway?  Not the extreme 
ones, but some?  
  We have NONE now.  Maybe that's why we would  have to let in ALL the 
puppymill owners...

  because we have no criteria at  all.  At least that's some people's excuse 
for letting Hunte in...
  which means they couldn't keep anybody else out.  If there are no personal 
  beliefs that puppymillers are wrong, then fine, go ahead ................>>. 
         There has to be a line drawn somewhere...it's just really obvious that 
an awful lot of 
  people have no clue where to draw it.   Peggy
