AKC Intruding On Your Privacy!!!

by Jodi Eckardt

 

THE AKC is trying a new way to intrude on your privacy...

Getting to know you ... And putting you in a databank.

The AKC does not appear to have sent this questionnaire to everyone with AKC registered dogs, but rather a chosen few. Most likely their way of testing the waters. They have also attached a tracking number. Hmmmm

I think this latest intrusion should sink them to the bottom of the ocean. Read on, but you may want to have a barf bag handy.

Dog Ownership:  Which of the following best describes you:

pet
non-cb
cb
kennel-boarding
grooming
show
club member
vet
trainer

YOUR DEMOGRAPHICS...
age
gender
marital status
education
own-rent

Now this one is over the top! How dare they inquire about our income!!!

INCOME: less than $30,000
$30,000- $40,000
$40,000- $50,000
$50,000-$75,000
$75,000-$100,000
$100,000-$150,000
$150,000 or more
REFUSED

CAN YOU BELIEVE THEY ARE ASKING ABOUT YOUR INVESTMENTS??? JUST WHO THE H _ _ _ DO THEY THINK THEY ARE!!
"What is the approximate total value of all of your investable assets---that is your assets that you have available for investing, not including the asset value of your property, retirement accounts,
or other restricted assets?"

Under $50,000
$50,000 to less than $100,000
$100,000 to less than $250,000
$250,000 to less than $500,000
$500,000 to less than $1 Million
$1 Million or more

Are you getting a warm and fuzzy feeling about your AKC? This is a stinking dog registry, not the IRS!
