Laura Thomas writes: You may have some interesting points. But, consider this. Yes, there are breeders and PC members out there who are not the most ethical or honest. But, to my knowledge, they are not breeding multiple breeds and selling pups numbering in the thousands per year. They are not shipping dogs in trucks to pet stores throughout the Country. The percentage of "bad" breeders in the entire PC doesn't begin to compare to the heartache this one man causes with his practices. ************************************************** Laura.... You and I agree ALMOST all the time.....not this time. The fact that our members sell just some puppies makes them not less culpable in my eyes as Mr Hunte's organization. The fact that our members will do that makes them worse, as they SHOULD know better. Call me naive, but selling 4-5 litters a year to show 1 dog is as unconscionable to me as selling 1000 puppies to pay a mortgage. It is not about the numbers, it is about the action. Same horse, different saddle. JMO Ileana God put me on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I am so far behind, I'll never die. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
