Has anyone ever been to a breeder who is a member of the CKC and witnessed “puppy mill” standards?

As a professional dog trainer and a member of the Canadian Kennel Club, a member of CAPPDT and several other organizations I am always concerned about the welfare of dogs…period…whether they are purebred or not is not my concern. Although I do raise purebred dogs according to CKC standards and show my dogs, I have been to many CKC breeders and have witnessed ill kept dogs, dogs in poor health, dogs that were drowned at birth because the owners did not have buyers, I have witnessed 8 year old female German Shepherds being shot at Appleridge Kennels in Ingersoll Ontario because they were too old to breed.In the show rings I have seen dogs being choked by the nylon slip choke colllars they wear and vomit when they leave the ring, so lets be clear about what we call a puppy mill. Do you know that the CKC allows its members to produce up to 600 puppies per year? The NCAC describes a puppy mill as any breeder of purebred or mixed dogs that does not care about the health of the dogs

The Continental Kennel Club and the Canadian Kennel Club are two different things. CKC in Canada is the same as AKC in the US.

There are bad people or bad practices in every segment of society. Dog people certainly do not have a corner on that market. Dog people can only police ourselves, expecting a kennel club or the government to do it for us is foolhardy and will eventually be to our and our dogs disadvantage.
