Some of us were actively fighting mills and brokers back in the 60s...and still are. It has nothing to do with buying into the ARistas and their pronouncements. Those of us who have been fighting this fight for LONGER than 25 years have not fallen victim to anything. That's not only an insulting statement, it's wrong. It doesn't matter whether Hunte Corporation actually breeds dogs or just brokers them--the difference is so minute as to not matter at all. **************************************** Thank You Peggy. It is unfortunate that we cant have this argument without being told that we are brainwashed by the ARistas, or we haven't fought the battle long enough. It doesn't take 25 years to know when something is wrong. Maybe 25 minutes, not 25 years. I could argue that maybe is others who are brainwashed into thinking that a prepared tour to a group of 4H kids validates the thousands of puppies being TRAFFICKED, not brokered, but trafficked. Lets call it what it is. Puppy millers, puppy traffickers......that's what we are dealing with, not 4H kids. So if we are against the Hunte corp. way of business we are FOR the AR movement? That can be black and white but trafficking puppies can be colored into brokering and a clean facility.............what a load of BS. I am sorry Paul but this just doesn't fly. And even tho this is a conformation list, it is full of breeders and members and the rescued animals do have a place here. Somebody bred them, we happen to be the ones who do not turn our backs on them. I know, I have a CH, a show dog, and a rescued dog sitting right here in my house. More and more it looks like money talks and the good responsible people in the breed will be given the walk.
