Who We Are

July 4, 2008 Editorial - Freedom Today is a hard look at where we (breeders) are today as compared to 2004/2005.  For starters, dog breeders fear local authorities more than they do terrorists and judges have freedom of speech issues.

June 2008 Editorial - Designer Dogs and Mixed Breeds in AKC speculates on  "registration" or "listing" of mongrels.  What does your club say?  Does your Delegate vote the club's wishes or rubber stamp the AKC rationale? 

April 15, 2008 Editorial - Animal Rights Activist Terrorists, a different perspective on how HSUS, PETA and ALF use Animals against us and why ELF and ALF are on the FBI's top domestic terrorist list!

July 25, 2007 Editorial - CA Anti-Pet Bill Pulled - AKC led the effort while cat people quietly and successfully worked a different angle.  CFA also credits NAIA (founder Patti Strand is an AKC board member) and many other groups on combined success.

July 2007 Editorial - War Games  When you see it laid out chronologically, yep, it all makes sense.  Who are we fighting?  What is the battle plan?  You decide.

December 2006 Editorial is a  Lesson In Learning for the New Year.  How we learn about dogs and what old-timers should learn about their own breeds!  A reminder on how and why breed standards "change".

October 24th Editorial  - The Future Is Here No sense kidding ourselves.  In fact, it is downright dangerous to do so. A hard-hitting editorial that dares to address a painful truth that many are finally realizing.  Might as well face it....

September 18th Editorial  - Sold Out By AKC Do we roll over again or do we summon the courage of our founding fathers and the soldiers who fight for us today?  We are a majority of the U.S. population so where is our outrage?  Grab your seat belt, you've been taken for a ride.

June 29, 2006  It's All About Freedom  As we celebrate Independence Day, think about what we have given up in the sport.  Repeat government "by the people" (we give you the whole quote) and think how clever PR can turn into a dud when there's a short fuse.  Dog people are "ignited." 

June 12, 2006 AA Legislation.  Anti-American, anti-animal, plain and simple.  Know this - there is no progress without revolt.  We're not rid of Santorum but he saw defeat and tabled PAWS. 

June 1, 2006 Judges Judging Nature The burden is on Judges. They asked for the job in preserving type but they have a huge responsibility to the domestic dog because genetic abnormalities can and will permeate the species.  Goodbye Best Friend!

May 9, 2006 Stop A Tank - When we're outnumbered by commercial breeders, legislators and humaniacs, we need leadership, not betrayal.  Judges have always been our leaders but when they see the gun turrent swing 180 degrees, will they fire back?

April 12, 2006 AKC The Corporation - Accountability is non-existent.  Clubs and Show breeders are invested "stockholders" but people who buy from pet shops don't show.  Would you buy stock in this company? 

March 14, 2006 NAIS - Tying The Knot between AKC, USDA, Digital Angel, PAWS, Santorum, etc.  A primer on microchip, GPS tracking, new legislation, and why PAWS was only a first step in getting you accustomed to ....

Feb 7, 2006 New Group Judge Approval Criteria favors handlers over breeders?  I/We went right to the top, AKC Director Of Judging Operations.  Part Two is a second exclusive interview with Mr. Peter Gaeta.

Dec. 28, 2005   The Exemption does not apply to you, the show breeder.  Nothing has changed except now you canl be inspected by AKC!!!!  

Oct 25, 2005 Wrong Horse What a ride!  AKC, HSUS, Santorum - thought they had a sure winner but that mount had a mortal fear of dog and cat owners. 

Sept. 30, 2005 The Medusa Factor  A plea for warrior leaders, a game plan to lop off the snakes, take back dog clubs, and in so doing, defeat PAWS.

Aug. 3, 2005 Paws and Laws  PETA and HSUS take in millions ... It's a matter of PR and AKC has failed miserably.  Money trail, and IRS, stuff to think about.

July 26, 2005  PAWS For Thought AKC bedding down with the HSUS & DDAL? Who goes over your books?  To whom do you report? 

July 1, 2005   The Sound Of Freedom There's enough party line and sour grapes out there to start a whinery but TDP  reports news as we see it.

May 30, 2005  Where Are Our Leaders?  The FBI ranks ELF and ALF as  #1 domestic terrorist threat.  We're losing the war right here, on the home front. 

Feb. 25, 2005 AKC Mission - Elections  AKC and Breeder disregard for stud book integrity , Mission #1 is seriously jeopardized and ignored.

Feb. 25, 2005:  Dietary Supplements?  If you take supplements or use them for your dogs, you better get a cuppa coffee and settle in for a short read.

Jan 2005  FDA's Fancy Fraud gives a whole new look at Adverse Reactions, FDA, and the REAL drug war

Sept. 2002  re-listed by request,  McDaniels - Martin Cases  AKC's failure to "accept jurisdiction" in one of the most shocking animal abuse stories to hit recent news media as compared to the Martin case suspension and fine.
