What I meant was that it is a national issue, finding a way to eliminate puppy mills. When you have a national issue, you have either the federal government, (Department of Agriculture) or a national organization. The only national organization that seems poised to take on this would be the AKC. I sure don't want it under the control of PETA or HSUSA.
