PostHeaderIcon UCARE Supports “ACT”

UCARE Supports ACT, Advocates for the Coton de Tulear


Announcement from Jeri McClees and Jane Arrington, founders of UCARE:

When UCARE was formed in 2002 as the only nonprofit corporation committed to the Rescue of this wonderful breed, our articles of incorporation specified that the corporation was organized for the purpose of preventing and abating animal cruelty by rescuing, treating, altering, fostering and rehoming abused, neglected, ill, stray and unwanted Cotons. Furthermore, UCARE was developed to educate current and prospective pet owners as to the proper care and breeding of dogs to prevent cruelty and allow them to make informed choices of where to obtain a Coton.


Never did we think that to fulfill this charter we would have to take an opposing stance to one of the Coton breed clubs and its goal to have the Coton recognized as an AKC “breed”. History has shown that AKC recognition exponentially increases the number of dogs in puppy mills (or “high volume breeder” facilities using the AKC nomenclature) and subjects those dogs to cruel and inhumane treatment. We feel that we have no choice but to assist in preserving the Coton breed as we know it and join in the battle against AKC recognition.


It is with sadness (but pride that others join us in our concerns and our basic goals) that we are making a contribution to the Advocates for the Coton de Tulear (ACT) in the amount of $5,000 in the hopes that it will prod others to join the battle and hopefully assist in winning the war against AKC recognition for the Coton de Tulear. The future of this wonderful breed is at risk if we don’t win that war!


Jeri & Jane, UCARE


P.S. If you wish to donate or get more information about ACT’s efforts, go to: http://advocatesforthecotondetulear.blogspot.com/


Until there are none, please rescue one.

Advocates for the Coton de Tulear: A Sad Day for the Coton de Tulear:

By:  Advocates for the Coton de Tulear

The USACTC has been named the AKC Parent Club for the Coton de Tulear. They may have received that privilege but the Coton de Tulear has still not been AKC recognized.  There is no standing on the fence any longer. You pick a side and you either fight FOR the Coton or you fight to SHOW the Coton. There are no in betweens. If you are a member of the USACTC Club, then you are pro-AKC and you support Puppy Mills.  Please join us in our continued opposition of  AKC recognition for the Coton de Tulear!

PostHeaderIcon AKC Finds New Source to Produce Puppy "Papers" Revenue- the Coton de Tulear!

AKC Finds New Source to Produce Puppy "Papers" Revenue
April 5, 2011
By:  Jenny Stephens, North Penn Puppy Mill Watch

Gullible: adjective: naive and easily deceived or tricked 

Would you buy a Rolex watch from a sidewalk vendor for $25.00 and actually believe that you're purchasing the identical watch that sells for thousands of dollars at "reputable" fine jewelry stores?

When it comes to dogs, gullible consumers actually believe that "papers" lend credence to the health and quality of the dog.  Sadly, most buyers are purchasing a false sense of security.

In reality, the source of a puppy largely determines whether or not the "papers" accompanying the canine are suitable for framing or better used for housebreaking and the AKC's own website inasmuch says so.

"There is a widely held belief that "AKC" or "AKC papers" guarantee the quality of a dog. This is not the case.

AKC is a registry body. 

A registration certificate identifies the dog as the offspring of a known sire and dam, born on a known date. 

It in no way indicates the quality or state of health of the dog. 

Quality in the sense of "show quality" is determined by many factors including the dog's health, physical condition, ability to move and appearance. Breeders breeding show stock are trying to produce animals that closely resemble the description of perfection described in the breed standard. 

Many people breed their dogs with no concern for the qualitative demands of the breed standard. When this occurs repeatedly over several generations, the animals, while still purebred, can be of extremely low quality."

The American Kennel Club derives millions of dollars each year from the sale of "papers" and so, too, do several other quasi-registries including the ACA and APRI.  Unless the dog being purchased comes from a long line of  champions and the buyer has a desire to show or breed, the majority of puppy "paper" purchases are largely a waste of money on a meaningless piece of processed tree pulp.

For years advocates have maintained that if "reputable" breeders REALLY cared about the health and welfare of their respective breeds they would stand up to the AKC's attempt to push "papers" and say: ENOUGH.  Essentially, they would publicly acknowledge that the sale of "papers" is a racket used for one purpose and one purpose only: to produce revenue.

Were this to happen, "reputable" breeders could corner the market on purebreds and essentially help put large scale commercial breeding kennels, along with pet shops, out of business.  Too bad they don't.

So intent is the AKC to make money from commercial breeding that they have, historically and to this day, opposed, refuted and/or contested practically every measure created that would bolster state and federal regulations intended to improve the health and welfare conditions for breeder dogs in large scale kennels... aka: puppy mills.

As we all know, it's impossible to "unring" a bell.  Such is the case with the Coton de Tulear.  Currently classified as a rare breed, this small fluffy white dog stands to be exploited by the AKC if, at the behest of certain breeders, the behemoth registry "recognizes" the Coton.

The primary Coton de Tulear club in the United States, the ACC, is nauseated by the thought of AKC recognition.  Why?  Because they know that once this happens the floodgates will open and commercial breeding kennels across the country will be producing the Coton in staggering numbers.  Pet shops will carry Cotons.  Mini-Cotons will appear as will Coton-Poos, Shih-Cotons and just about any other conceivable variety of mixed mating.  The Coton will appear on Craig's List.  The only thing worse than the AKC recognizing the Coton would be Disney films producing a flick featuring the breed!

As an advocate for dogs trapped in puppy mills and for canines sitting in shelters and rescues awaiting future homes, I struggled with this issue.

Doing nothing will neither protect the Coton de Tulear or prevent future breeding of these dogs.  

That said, I'd rather help expose the AKC for its endeavors to exploit a small little white dog for the purpose of producing revenue and to possibly help shelters and rescues from being inundated with the breed once those who have purchased a readily available Coton decide "this isn't the dog for me" and dumps them... a tragic scene played over and over again with too many of the "recognized" breeds.

The ACC has been in contact with the AKC.  According to club president, Hailey Parker, the AKC has dodged their questions, ignored their concerns, removed their contact information from the AKC website and intends to move toward selecting an AKC Parent Club in mid April - the first step toward acquiring "recognition."

Seems like strange behavior for a registry who purports to have the best interest of dogs at heart but would appear to be typical for a club known to produce revenue at the expense of the health and welfare of dogs trapped in mills.

To help voice your opinion that AKC should NOT recognize the Coton and possibly prevent the exploitation of yet ANOTHER breed, please sign the ACC petition: click HERE

At a minimum, you will send the AKC a strong message:  advocates are sick and tired of cleaning up the mess that occurs when the club "recognizes" a breed.  Let them know that you're on to their scam of selling meaningless papers to uninformed consumers and that to exploit yet ANOTHER breed for the purpose of lining their pockets is simply despicable.

PostHeaderIcon UPDATE: Coton de Tulear FOUND!!!

UPDATE:  Sierra, the lost Coton de Tulear dog in Snowmass, Colorado has been reunited with her owner Kris Forke.  
Sierra is back safe and sound! She is full of stick tights/cockle burrs and her back nails have been worn down to the quick. She was found quite a ways away from home running down a county road, running in the tire tracks during the snow storm. A rancher recognized she didn’t belong out there and took her to the Aspen shelter. Thank God!
Miracles do happen! I want to thank each and every one of you who prayed and sent me a message. I will respond to each of you when I can.
Prayers and thoughts do work and I appreciate each and every one of them. Many people were very helpful by spreading the word, and I’m humbled by your efforts. I know the Coton community can be very divided at times but when a Coton’s life is in danger I know we all rally for the cause. And I love you all for that!
Now I have a grooming job to do on Sierra and hope I don’t need to shave her to the skin.
Thank you so much,
Kris

This is wonderful news and we are all so happy for Kris and Sierra!!!
