This is one of the longest "contents pages" on
this site - or any other. And there are over a hundred more.
As we re-work the site, we will try to group them in better order but in
the meantime, we suggest you just scroll or do a search (we suggest
Google) for the particular story you seek.
Now we have the
Rebuttal
to proposed Chihuahua Breed Standard Change which would disqualify
merle color from ring competition. G. Curran explains why this would hurt
the breed and breeders who have diligently worked with the color.
AKC Director Interferes with Chihuahua Club Ballot.
Chihuahua Club Of America Membership receives lengthy
letter from AKC Board Member / CHF Director Steven Gladstone telling
them to vote against Chihuahua Breed Standard revision to disqualify
merle colored dogs from AKC shows. This, just before ballots were
scheduled to be mailed. Exclusive coverage on what may be one of AKC's most
embarrassing moments. Mr. Gladstone says his opinion counts and he
hopes the members vote NO.

affair but do you know the background? It's all right here.
AKC vs Judge George Bolton Trial Board
It may be the only trial board the AKC
ever
lost! Go inside what few in the fancy (other than our subscribers)
were privy to. In spite of the AKC's own Trial Board ruling in
Bolton's favor, AKC then retaliated by charging him with another "crime"
and suspended his judging privileges (BIS, Non-Sporting Group, several
Hound, Poodles) anyway....
Ohio Supreme Court Bans Pit Bulls
tracks the case, the rulings, and the
background as only Louis Fallon can do.
AKC Solution For Stud Book Fraud?
Quite
possibly prodded by recent legal actions and complaints. Here's the skinny
on Conditional Registration.
Judge
Fails To Measure, Punished by AKC Think you've got
pressure as an exhibitor? Judges Assoc. files protest. AKC Board reacts with due
diligence. Problem solved. There's only one place for details....
You asked so we asked and AKC's Legislation Dept. was
up to the challenge. The CA 1639 is not over so read
what AKC did to help defeat it and then read what non-doggy
experts thought it said when they read it.

Then get both perspectives on the issue in the
