PETSHow to Help Your Dog Be a Good Neighbor
Good fences certainly help, but be sure to introduce your pup to the neighbors and check in from time to time
Full StoryI have never been a big fan of the American Kennel Association and after this news they have sunk even farther in my eyes. In a move that has shocked breed clubs all over the country, the AKC has signed a deal with Petland to register all purebred dogs that are sold at Petland through the AKC. Petland sells dogs from backyard breeders and puppymills... most notably the Hunte Corp. based in Missouri that is the largest puppymill broker in America. For an entity that is supposed to operate as non-profit the AKC is really in business to make money....they are fooling no one. While this act can be described as nothing less than despicable... the AKC has always made money from the "dark" side of the breeding industry.
