Sleeping with the Enemy

HSUS revealed in a press release yesterday that they have partnered up
with some naive AKC breeders to form a Dog Breeder's Advisory and
Resource Council. Hmm....the D-BARC. Rest assured, that name and its
acronym are no coincidence! This is a blatant attempt to silence the
voice of those who are independent thinkers. It's a typical
divide-and-conquer ploy by experts in that tactic.

"The new partnership will help consumers shop wisely for a puppy by
recognizing the difference between responsible breeders and puppy
mills." the announcement states. "...composed of responsible dog
breeders from across the country. Council members will advise HSUS on
dog health and welfare issues, and talk to the general public about what
constitutes proper breeding practices, promoting the health of the
parents and the puppies."

Proper breeding practices according to WHO? While certain "hobby
breeders" may believe that championships and adherence to a breed
standard are the most important criteria for success and prerequisites
for breeding, others may have different priorities. They may wish to
produce nice companions, good workers, or perhaps just would like to
experience the joy of raising a litter of puppies. Nothing wrong with
that! .......

Maybe they could start with informing the ? people that do no research in the breed of dog they are getting (101 dalmation fiasco, pit bulls are cool, etc) rather than going after the breeders who do their damnedest to find suitable candidates for the pups. Oh nevermind, that isn't what they want to start with now is it?

Oh Suzan I am so worried about this partnership. I can see where nothing good can come of this new partnership - we definitely have cobra (not a fox) in the hen house now!

Has the AKC given their blessing on this "Association" ..... I'd be interested to know how many AKC breeders of merrit have agreed to do this ..... And if this isn't the AKC's idea what their feeling is on the matter .... Nothing good can come of this!!

Cathy I have not had the chance to go investigate this further - It does bear close scrutiny and more investigation - let me know if you discover any more information and I will share what ever I discover too

Gail, I will forward this info on to my KC's AKC representative and ask her what needs to be done to find out, and I'll let you know what she tells me ...
