THAT is frightening...I am new to all of this and was thinking from a
broader perspective. Sort of, bring them in to the fold, see that we are
not the monsters portrayed by HSUS/PETA , maybe want a purebred dog to show
in conformation AND maybe we can use some of their money to educate...Is
there a way to "call" them on their lack of stance?
And Karen, I (obviously) respect your opinions (still need more help with
those puppy names, by the way!)....the spay/neuter thing should be
'fixed"....
