I get this email from someone i have never heard of

[mtd885]

What are these people thinking???

THINKING!!! I Think not
As we have seen here on this sight the world has an overabundance of people who became experts--ONLINE!
The information age is here. We all have access to more information than we can absorb. People who read of your success and the success of others on this board, that have no business breeding dogs, convince themselves, THEY TOO CAN DO IT. NFW!!! If I were King I'd make EVERY BREEDER part of a National or State Registry with policing powers to enforce policy. All animals would be registered regardless of genealogy. That would eliminate puppy mills and dishonest breeders like the one we shared an experience with!!! The sincere honest and caring breeders like yourself who test, do research to improve the progeny would be rewarded with REAL ACCREDITATION!

Im just heartbroken that these people think you just throw two dogs together and waallaaa MONEY,,

As hard as the ILA as well as others are striving to have AKC recognize this breed, (which they are trying to figure a way to do this by the way)

Im not big on registerys, This is doing my part in not feeding the money making AKC monopoly,, as well as promote MORE Breeders breeding haphazardly they have ruined the ones that are now registere with them "purebred" blahhaa, nothing is purebred all were mixed with other breeds to produce all breeds!!! ( i realize this was not the type you were talking bout)

Not sure what you propose would even ever be possible,
I truly believe that everyone needs to research and question,,feel comfortable with who they purchase from and understand all policies ect

Right now im just shocked ,,why i dont know,,i see it all the time,
I could have said alot more but i just didnt want to even waste my time !!

I have seen many come to this forum asking HOW and what to breed etc
come on......go do research! apprentice with another breeder etc
then ask which tests, why and where to advertise

in what business start up do other people do the work for you???
helllo? hhahaaaaaaaaaa

then there's the breeder already in business like Nancy described that doesn't know a thing ...makes me want to scream!!!

the worst kind of breeding is when someone takes shelter dogs and/or strays , does no testing and just breeds them

ok getting off podium now

Considering how many treat their OWN offspring, I don't see the states being able to do anything about breeders for a long LONG time.

Wisconsin is awful in how lax they are on animal welfare laws. One of the most well known puppy millers who has been in business for 30+ yrs and has had a huge number of complaints filed against him, has had tv crews showing his operation and has been interviewed numerous times about his business is still in operation openly.

I really think the only thing that has ANY chance of helping is to educate the public as much as possible so fewer of them are willing to buy from bad breeders. If you take away the profit, they will stop since that's the incentive they keep aiming for.

That's true, Tink...I guess we can't legislate morals...*sigh*

I don't think that they will ever pass legislation telling people how to care for their animals, but they can pass legislation that makes the owners financially liable for the puppy if it is abandoned or worse.

I just think that if every commercial breeder (anyone selling puppies, even through newspaper ads) were required to get a commercial license that required good record keeping, such as the names of breeders, microchip or other permanent identificaiton of all puppies born, record keeping showing who bought the puppy and any transfer of ownership to be reported and recorded. Then require all puppy sales entities (brokers, pet stores, etc.) to comply with this too...they would be mandated to deal only with dogs properly identified and registered, and they would have to keep the same records...who bought the pup, etc...THEN when a puppy ends up being abused or abandoned (or lost or stolen) the microchip could trace the dog to all of those people responsible for his/her care and well being. Those who have mistreated or abandoned the dogs will be liable for the damages to that life...breeders will get the dog returned when the match is made and everyone becomes more accountable.
Then breeders and sellers might be more careful about who they sell pups to...because they would still be liable.

That would be the ideal Jac, but I can't see it happening in the near future.

Thanks Jac, that's one of my babies from Canada and Moses last fall. He's about 10 months old in the photo. I too think he's quite handsome.
