Subject: Thank you from The HSUS puppy mills campaign

Dear Mr Hiskes,

I am writing to thank you for posting the update about the Petland lawsuit on your Blog last week, and especially to thank you for your support of our efforts to combat puppy mills and also for being a humane breeder!

The HSUS wholeheartedly supports responsible dog breeders, we publish several guides for the public to help them find and identify a good dog breeder, including our Puppy Buyer’s Guide and our Good Breeder Checklist. These are available for free on our website or by mail. You can see the Puppy Buyer’s Guide at http://www.humanesociety.org/issues/puppy_mills/tips/finding_good_dog_breeder.html%20and%20download%20our%20Good%20Breeder%20Checklist%20at%20http://www.humanesociety.org/assets/pdfs/pets/puppy_mills/how_find_good_dog_breeder.pdf
The more good breeders that start coming forward to say “I am against puppy mills,” and say it loudly and proudly, we have an even greater chance at helping the animals in the facilities providing substandard care!

If you would like to know more about our work with breeders, please do not hesitate to contact me. We would be delighted to stay in touch with you!

Sincerely,

Beau

The USACTC has announced the desire to take the Coton de Tulear to the AKC. The ACC is against the action as we would like the Coton to remain a rare breed.
There is a group online who are discussing the pro's and con's to the breed going AKC. If you would like to join the discussion or just lurk, here is the link:
AKC or Not Group
There will be a formal petition later for all Coton breeders and owners to voice their opinion whether they will support the AKC if the Coton if the USACTC or any other club is successful in their bid for the AKC.
Please stay tuned for new information as it becomes available.
