I just wonder how much of the General Public AKC thinks is going to read a
"Press Release"  in their own newsletter!!??   Aren't they just preaching to 
the 
choir??

It's about time they understood the severity of these issues and spent some of 
their
money to take this to a VERY PUBLIC FORUM!!   They missed golden opportunities
with Westminster and Eukanuba.....or any of the morning "talk shows"  that gave
daily updates on these shows....and Animal Planet.  I don't personally watch 
these
shows, but I sure hear about them through that type of media....even the late
night shows talk about these events.
Don't they have anyone handling  Public Relations?   Does he/ or she need HELP!!
AKC needs to get a lot more  active in taking this information to the public 
that has
NO CLUE!!   Their own Newsletter is hardly going to reach the desk of the 
average 
family..........GEEEEZ!
I can't believe how much time we are wasting with always giving out information 
to
those of us that ALREADY KNOW!!!
I'll bet over 50% of the people that were at Westminster or the Eukanuba shows
have NO IDEA what is going on with the struggle for breeders and Breeds to
continue.   How difficult would it have been to take advantage of that great 
forum.
It's time some of these powerful Organizations and Companies that make a big 
part
of their income on pets and pure bred dogs started stepping up to the plate to 
help.
