The Schipperke people don't seem to be having a problem with the banning of
tail-docking; their big internal argument seems to be what KIND of tail to
breed for and put in their revised Standard: Spitz-like or a saber, like our
dogs, or something else.
Not EVERYONE who breeds docked and cropped dogs are opposed to the banning
of such practices. I know several Great Dane breeders that are thrilled to
not have to put their puppies through that surgery just to show them in the
American breed rings.
That remark by the AKC is not giving an entirely accurate picture of the
reality of people's beliefs and opinions, and is yet another example of the
distorted propaganda I am really getting annoyed, irritated, and insulted
by!!

To quote James Crowley, Executive Secretary, AKC
(AHA refers to the AMerican Humane Ass)
" While AHA has taken worthwhile steps in the areas of shelters,
prevention of Cruelty, and disaster relief, it does actively support some
positins
diametrically oppsed by most AKC Parent Clubs. Specifically, AHA strongly
supports Cal. Ass. Bill 1634, requiring responsible breeders to obtain a
permit to
have an unaltered dog or bitch. It is opposed to docking and cropping ,
except
for necessary medical resaons, a position strongly opposed by all the
affected
Parent Clubs. AHA is also opposed to the use of animals in the types of
Performance Events sponsored by many of the same Parent Clubs it is
soliciting for
membership. "
Mr. Crowly merely wishes "Parent Clubs to be aware of those concerns."

I know know how you are construing this discussion to mean I do not think so
also.
I am glad that Pedigree seems to have changed its position.
I will anxiously await news if GSDC Rescue receives $2000 from Pedigree. I
also hope that they notify the fancy how the remained of the $1.6 million is
spent.
