Wasn't this exactly the argument AKC made last year for why AKC should not only get into business with Hunte Corp (and other "large volume breeders" or whatever they are calling them), but also, why reputable breeders should help these "large volume breeders" better their stock by selling them some of theirs? It may have been, but fact is IT IS A CORRECT STATEMENT. Do any of the "responsible" breeders on this list plan to have more litters to satisfy the "pet market"??? No of course not. So just where do you think people are going to get those pets? And NO people that want a cute little Maltese puppy are NOT going to go to the animal shelter and adopt a large breed black mutt. Whether we like it or not, people will want purebred puppies. They will go where then need to to get those purebred puppies.
