Yes they voted against it!!!Yeah!!!!!
"This just in--
At the September Delegates Meeting AKC reported that we had reached
an agreement with Petland in order to facilitate the registration of
dogs that are already AKC registrable.
Precedence: bulk
AKC's Board of Directors and management believed that this agreement
would have helped to further the mission of the AKC. Promoting
responsible dog ownership to new puppy owners, implementing our care
and conditions policies, and exposing more dog owners to AKC
educational programs and services would have had even greater reach.
In the past few weeks we have received many comments about this
agreement, both positive and negative. We have listened to the
concerns and because this issue has become so divisive, we believe it
is in the best interest of our sport and the American Kennel Club not
to go forward with this initiative.
