So I just read four show list digests. With the exception of one email all were about "oh my god, we are going to have white dogs in the breed ring or it may now have a nose not black!" Yet the most important one has been ignored. Danielle wrote to let us know that the fine was still in place for "SELLING" a puppy. Do you folks not get it? The morons in power are rapidly making breeding and selling pets illegal. They don't care if it is white or purple. This movement is being shoved through in this city or that town or so and so county said no no no breeding or selling. Now some of us are getting old enough where we won't be affected by these rules and regulations (for long) but we do have young people that buy well bred pups from us. Soon their only choice will be a shelter and then in the future they may see a dog in a zoo (if the zoos haven't been shut down). Wake up people. Oh and I couldn't care less if I see a white dog in the ring. Don't own one never have and probably never will. BUT I do want to own dogs in the future and at this rate unless you are a millionaire kiss that hope away.
