Just in case the LONG article was mind numbing, I excerpted what I saw as astounding. A change that maybe some of you have seen from AKC??????? It is particularly alarming because right now, AKC is in the process of changing their puppy registration forms. The box on the puppy registration form that a breeder checks if they want the pup to be sold on a limited registration is now darkened in with diagonal lines. Current forms are transitional, according to a woman in AKC's customer service department who I spoke with. But the forms will soon be all limited registration as a default - unless the breeder fills in some special numbers on the form. All breeders will soon be getting a breeder ID number from AKC. Now consider this. A breeder sells a pup with full rights... well, AKC has it in writing that you sold an intact pup thus, YOU ARE A DEALER!!! *^*\/\/\/\/*^**^*\/\/\/\/*^**^*\/\/\/\/*^* Dog's love is different, it requires no return www.FairhopeGSD.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
