I had heard several months ago that Beaumont was out. The only thing that we can do now is to educate people about buying from pet shops. You know what we need to do is to network with each other. Every puppy mill horror story needs to be made public on regional club websites. People need to know the difference between puppy milling and responsible breeding practices. They need to know that puppy brokers add to the puppy milling problem buy buying their pups. I don't think that we will have much help from the Parent Club on this. Congrats to the Review staff for putting the Review in the black Good Going!!! Terry Peggy <pmick12@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Thanks for the update, Helen. In the midst of all this, and my own dismay that Hunte was going to get in (it was sort of a foregone conclusion, wasn't it?), I can't help but wonder... "why does this man want to belong to a breed club at all?" After all, he made his fortune off the backs of puppymill dogs...so big deal, he bought a purebred and paid to have it finished. How come all of a sudden he wants to be in a breed club? It's also no surprise that Carmen supported him...when Hunte was on TV last year at the great Eukanuba pet event, he sat next to Carmen in the middle of all the other AKC bigwigs. Why any of us bother to try to shut down the mills, or why we expect the AKC's support in that effort, is a great mystery to me. As for the rest of your post, are you telling us that the National site is NOT going to be in Beaumont? Definitely? Hmmmm. As for more pleasant subjects, Dania will do a great job! And it is super that the Review made a profit! Peggy VPREZHMF@xxxxxxx wrote: >Just heard that the Board accepted Hunte's membership with a 9 to 8 vote.
