I read the minutes of the AKC delgates meeting in the last Gazette and was quite
interested to read that AKC thinks they may actually conduct kennel inspections
of hobby breeders who fall under the PAWS umbrella on behalf of the USDA.
Seems to me that AKC wouldn't do that for free - I sense that AKC sees an
opportunity to subsidize their own inspection program with federal dollars.
Could that be the underlying motive behind AKC's support of this bill? And, if
AKC goes down that road, will AKC's registration records be open to the
government? I know that the state of Maine has tried to access AKC's records
to track down breeders in this state and AKC said no. But, if AKC becomes part
of the enforcement of PAWS, will record confidentiality continue?
Just food for thought....
