On the other hand - could we - Find a way to get the AKC to take the high road - remain the "elite" of pure breed dog registries - no puppy mill puppies registered - let them go to another registry - could we unite the parent clubs in that effort? Could we come up with a way for the AKC to replace that revenue? Barb ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
