I think that there must be something strange going on at the AKC. To me, it appears that someone, somewhere has told the AKC that it's support "this bill" or there's some other dire thing coming down the line. How many emails have they been sending people. I just got another one from this Linda at AKC saying that breeders and sellers of hunting/sporting dogs won't be affected? WHY IS THE AKC SUPPORTING THIS LEGISLATION?????? Regardless, I am not in favor of any type of legislation that hinders breeders in any form - because this bill IMO, passes, what's going to be next? I was sent the following flyer from another list I'm on and have made it available for viewing at: http://www.gsdcpacnw.org <http://www.gsdcpacnw.org/> Click the link there.
