Permission to cross post Hi Everyone. I found out Monday night at our Kennel Club Board meeting from our Show Secretary a member of the German Shepherd Dog Club of America that Andrew Hunte, of the Hunte Corporation, the biggest broker of puppymill dogs in the US, was voted in as a member of the GSDCA. Many of the membership of this club were horrified, as they knew who Andrew Hunte was and what he stood for. This email was forwarded to me tonight, and is a shocking reminder of what this person might be capable of > >Hi everyone, >Im a new member and have raised German Shepherds since 1979.I have >bred many Champions,ROMs, fut &Mat winners as well as High In trial >obedience dogs and police,leader, therapy,agility, schutzhund and >movie actors.I have maybe a couple litters a year,and I breed for >myself with dogs bred closly to our standard. >I like most members of our parent club are embarrassed and ashamed >and are hopfully rectifying this as soon as we can :-( > >I guess those that allowed this terrible thing to happen to our >club,were told that if they refused his membership,they would be >held liable and sued.Hunte and his attorney were present for the >secret vote.Our board voted him in 8-no 9-yes >Mr Hunte also brought gifts bearing his name and logo to all of our >board members.Some took them,many did not. >A warning to those of you with other breeds...Take a look at your >parent clubs p&p and by-laws before he comes knocking at your door >to become a member.A loophole in ours let this man who represents >everything we find vile and disgusting in dogs(trafficing over >70,000 puppies a year Nation wide) Stand next to me as a voting >member of my parent club.I am saddened indeed I did take off the name of the person who wrote the above, since I don't know if she gave permission to repost it. I did get permission from the person who went it to me.
