However, the AKC seems to be clamping down on this sort of thing, especially if witness testimony verifies the incident. Christine hckryhillgsd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Steve and Christine Grainger Nice post Christine and this is how we recruit newcomers to show and promote the breed? Humm. Not placing blame in any direction as I was not there:) But these types of incidents have made us wonder why there are less entries and less new comers? Just a thought. Perhaps just a reflection of how our society operates today, sadly enough.
