So...we register anything that looks like a purebred? and after 4 generations, it IS? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA....... make no mistake...the AKC is telling us all to go fry ice...the powers that be could care less about us and the dogs...all they care about is getting enough money into the coffers to take care of all their golden parachutes. First "we must accept the large volume breeders." Well, that didn't fly (except with a couple of people...one our own delegate) Then, let's do a deal with Petland...and that didn't fly. Then, "what about letting mixed breeds compete in performance events?" No...they got another resounding no. So, this is the latest..."if it looks like it might be a purebred, we'll take it." That, coupled with the requests that we donate money to the AKC legislative fund instead of to our own state federations...........the organization is showing its true colours now. Most of the new requirements will ALSO put money into the AKC accounts, or didn't anyone think of that? I think I'll call CNN tonite and try to adopt that little mutt that the jackass in Florida dragged behind his car...it sort of looks like a Chihuahua, and maybe I can breed it and get registration papers.........................why not?
