While it is true that at first we were told (by none other than Pat Laurens on behalf of the AKC, and by others with recognizable names as well, in various emails and in different dog publications, especially in Dog News, that Hunte and his Corporation did not breed dogs, he holds himself forth as a dog breeder of many years (altho nowhere have I been able to discern what dogs he bred, or even what breed) the Corporation is definitely into breeding now...(follow that link someone sent earlier). As for importing, my friend in Miami customs has assured me that some of the dogs being imported (shrink wrapped) from South America are destined for Hunte Corporation and other large volume breeding operations. So much for that. Yes, Hunte Corp is a broker...but they would now have us believe they are breeding better dogs than the average person. Peggy Ginger Cleary wrote: >As a minor correction....
