Cindy...don't you realize that the only reason Hunte is against the ARistas is because they want to put puppymills out of business? It is puppymills that started the whole AR drive towards breeders...they have put private/hobby/show breeders in the same box as Hunte...and while we were not in that box prior to the last Board meeting, we are now. Join with him? Are you nuts? Not all his puppies come from USDA breeders, if we are to believe the newspaper ad that invited people to come sell their puppies...............or didn't you see that? Of course, if people want to sell their puppies to Hunte to be hauled across country and put into pet shop cages to be purchased on a whim, and maybe later, dumped, then I guess it's OK to join forces with him. I can't help but think of the NRA bumper sticker about handguns..you know the one "they can have my gun when they pry it out of my cold, dead hands." That's how I feel about Andrew Hunte...and isn't it funny? I'm not the only one! Join forces my behind!
