One of my favorite blogs, Dogster For the Love of Dog Blog recently posted an article about a new arrangement between the American Kennel Club (AKC) and Petland. Petland sells puppy mill puppies, and AKC is letting them use their name in the stores to promote AKC registration.
Well, the dog world isn't too happy with AKC, as breeders affiliated with the organization are vehemently opposed to companies like Petland.
I've commented on the Dogster site about this issue, and basically here's my stand:
Having an AKC registered dog doesn't mean much. It means the dog is purebred, but it doesn't guarantee:
- The puppy is healthy
- The puppy has been socialized correctly
- The dog's parents have a good temperament.
You have to do a lot of research to make sure that the above is true. And most importantly, don't buy the first dog you see. Take your time. Talk to a lot of people. You are going to have to live with this dog a long time.
