so the question is..... do we change the AKC or do we further educate the public.....
I absolutely don't think that reputable breeders do a good job of educating the public.....my neighbor just got a golden puppy that i helped her find.... he is related to my connor.... and her comment to me was "if I didn't know you, I would have had no idea how to find a good breeder" and its true..... shoot the average person doesn't know how to find a dog show..... down the street from me they hold dog shows and USDAA agility trials.... yet there are no signs up that this is happening and if you didn't know what uSDAA was you wouldn't venture in.....
to me that is the problem.....
not changing the akc...... but educating people and making ourselves more available to the average person.....

just some thoughts for the moment......
