1 6 Jun 2005 - 1:56    Amy Stevens : I feel in my heart that she should got what is coming to her. take someones dog is just like someone taking some bodys child. I think she should not be able to keep her AKC privlages.
2 6 Jun 2005 - 8:00    Ray Ogren : Cutting a dogs balls off when it wasn't the desire of the owner or dog is sexual mutilation, that is cruelty to both animal and owner. If in fact you don't consider it as such someone should cut your balls off and than query you as to your opinion with regard to unwanted sexual mutilation.
3 6 Jun 2005 - 8:04    Ray Ogren : The unwanted sexual mutilation of the dog is cruelty to both dog and owner. If this logic escapes you someone should cut your balls off and than query you with regard to your view on cruelty.
4 6 Jun 2005 - 10:20    Jane Anderson : I am shocked that AKC would not protect people in the sport of dogs, by not addressing this matter. This person's conduct is not in good sportsmanship, and should be strongly discouraged.
5 6 Jun 2005 - 17:54    Holly Foster : Akc can not sweep this under the carpet they need to deal with it and suspend her AKC privilreges
6 6 Jun 2005 - 21:26    Nellie Hofmeister : Legally proven dog theft and the subsequent removal of that dog from the breeding pool..which is what a Dog Registry is all about..should be cause for suspension from AKC.
7 7 Jun 2005 - 4:58    Amy Gossman :
8 7 Jun 2005 - 5:09    Gretchen Hoheins : Shame on you AKC for not standing up for what your orginization stand for.
9 7 Jun 2005 - 9:42    Karen Zimny : As an exhibitor and breeder I find it very disturbing that Hedlund be allowed to show dogs after being convicted of dog theft.
10 7 Jun 2005 - 10:16    Gloria Kromminga :
11 7 Jun 2005 - 10:19    Jennie Brandon :
12 7 Jun 2005 - 19:02    Chris Osterloh : The AKC should not condone theft and disfigurement of any dog.
13 7 Jun 2005 - 19:04    Susan Harbula : Being a member of the AKC is a privilege, not a right and she has forfeited that right by her misconduct.
14 7 Jun 2005 - 19:11    RENEE ROSE :
15 7 Jun 2005 - 19:22    Mary Rosborough : I think she should be supended. Theft is a crime in the real world and should be to you too
16 7 Jun 2005 - 19:26    Linda Miller : AKC suspension should be the minimum punishment. Please do your job.
17 7 Jun 2005 - 19:31    Deb Reinke :
18 7 Jun 2005 - 19:49    Frank Podgorski : It is the duty of the AKC to suspend this persons privileges permanetly for her actions
19 7 Jun 2005 - 20:06    Rebekah McCormack : Anyone who commits a crime like this should NOT be allowed to keep his/her AKC status.
20 7 Jun 2005 - 20:32    arlene polonsky :
21 7 Jun 2005 - 20:35    J. Johannsen : Having this thief at AKC events puts exhibitors dogs in jeopardy.AKC needs to take a stand on this issue.
22 7 Jun 2005 - 21:06    M. Oldsberg : Why would the AKC not take into account the courts opinion about this person and suspend her. It is in the AKC's best interest.
23 7 Jun 2005 - 21:27    Blair Foster : SHAME SHAME AKC you need to do something
24 7 Jun 2005 - 22:27    Tricia Whitney : Ms Hedlund committed a felony theft, therefore should not be allowed to participate in AKC events.
25 7 Jun 2005 - 22:52    Rita Guthmiller : This person was convicted of a felony that is directly related to the sport of dogs. She should be prohibited from participating in AKC sanctioned events. If the AKC's current policy does not adequately address this issue, the AKC’s governing body should take immediate steps to update current regulations to resolve this dilemma. That a person could be found guilty in a court of law of dog theft and still be allowed to exhibit at an AKC event is inconceivable.
26 7 Jun 2005 - 22:53    Evelyn Cummings : Why in the world is stealing and concealing a dog not detrimental to the sport of purebred dogs???
27 7 Jun 2005 - 23:14    Lissa Steenerson : AKC needs to step up and suspend Ms. Hedlund for the crime she committed and not allow her name to be associated with AKC.
28 7 Jun 2005 - 23:17    Lee Harbula : If this person has perpetuated this crime, and the courts of the land have shown that she has been so judged, then that action was maliscious, and certainly unprofessional. AKC membership should reflect a group of people of like mind. This person should be suspended or exorcized because her actions do NOT reflect the professionalism of the group.
29 7 Jun 2005 - 23:42    Jane Heuer : It's time AKC did more than collect $.Protect the sport of dogs and its law abiding members,and stand up to get rid of those who break the laws.
30 8 Jun 2005 - 0:18    Marilyn Burdick : I believe AKC has made too narrow an interpation of their rules. I would suggest a re-read.
31 8 Jun 2005 - 0:22    Eric Boonos : As a breeder and exihibitor in the AKC, it amazes me that this person is still allowed to show dogs or have any thing to do with breeding and registering w/AKC. If the courts have found this person guilty, then I feel a suspension of AKC privledges be suspended.
32 8 Jun 2005 - 1:05    Kathy Groves : AKC need not and should not "protect" this woman. She is a detriment to the dog fancy and AKC should be ashamed to have her in the midst of people who work hard to be fair, honorable competitors!
33 8 Jun 2005 - 1:22    Dana Huntington : No matter who you are this is WRONG. We are suposed to be responsible people representing the sport. What does this show about the AKC as well as the innocent members to those who don't know. This woman should at a min. be suspended if not her rights taken.
34 8 Jun 2005 - 1:33    Robin Russell : From reading the accompaning petition letter it scares me to think this person could be at a show putting other dogs in danger of the same treatment. If show sites hire Guards to keep out thieves, who but AKC can keep out this person? AKC, please reconsider your decision.
35 8 Jun 2005 - 2:20    Dianne Huntington : The AKC should make the necessary changes to make sure that nothing like this can or will happen again, this is wrong!
36 8 Jun 2005 - 2:33    N. Schultz : This is not the first time AKC has done nothing, all too often they stand behind the fact that this is a matter for a court of law, which was done in this case, saying they are only a regristering body, yet when faced with regristration matters they still close their eyes. This does effect their income in a small way for this dog can not sire puppies which would bring them revenue, guess this is not a large enough amount to make a difference to them.They should start taking up for the honest people that keep them in business and suspend the ones that shed a bad light on them by doing such an underhanded thing.
37 8 Jun 2005 - 3:37    Teresa Hunt :
38 8 Jun 2005 - 3:52    Carol Kroll : This is a disgrace! Why would show people want to risk associating with the likes of Clover Hedlund.
39 8 Jun 2005 - 5:01    Judi Hoobin : I think that the AKC is extremely remiss in not suspending Clover Hedlund. What more does the AKC want, she was found guilty in a court of law.
40 8 Jun 2005 - 5:38    Judy Knutson : I can't believe the AKC has chosen to take NO action against a convicted felon. A felon who altered the life and future lives of show dogs. You need to protect your current and future members.
41 8 Jun 2005 - 5:46    Holly Schaller :
42 8 Jun 2005 - 5:49    Dennis Daigle : Perhaps the upper echelon of the AKC needs a reminder of why AKC was formed. Lately they are more concerned with big showy buildings, high benefit jobs with a BIG pay checks and Golden Parachutes. This is sad.
43 8 Jun 2005 - 6:15    Nancy Drake : If this person was found guilty by a court of law, then this should be substantial evidence to suspend AKC privileges. Who wants to see such a person at a dog show for fear of their own dog's safety?
44 8 Jun 2005 - 6:28    Julie Krueger : I think that it is sad that an exhibitor is able to be convicted of such a crime in a court of law and yet AKC is basically saying that is ok to steal and alter someone elses dog. That won't make me feel very safe at the next show. This women should lose her AKC priviledges!
45 8 Jun 2005 - 7:51    Brock Bischoff : If this letter truly represents what happened, you should be ashamed of your decision!
46 8 Jun 2005 - 8:03    Erica : A felon who altered the life and future lives of show dogs. You need to protect your current and future members.
47 8 Jun 2005 - 8:06    carol a. meyer : what is important to you now, you no longer suspend breeding rights for misbehavior at shows, you just seem to care about your income from litter registrations, this woman has sullied the name of akc breeders, do the right thing, or become just like the ADR, CKC and the other worthless registries with no integrity
48 8 Jun 2005 - 9:18    A. Templin : It's time to abolish the AKC - they only interpet their rules and regulations for the best interest of their pocket.. They do not stand behind the rules and regulations that they make everyone else adhere to... just ask me -- I can tell you how I got ripped off by the AKC. this regarding a litter application - I did NOT sign the registration -- someone else did - the AKC said "That's O.K." Yet others are being reprimanded and fined for signing registrations without power of attorney - I didn't give power of attorney to anyone at AKC yet they signed the litter registration without my permission. So you see... they can do anything they want!
49 8 Jun 2005 - 10:02    Joseph D Holder,DVM :
50 8 Jun 2005 - 10:38    Bronwyn Bresnahan : For Hedlund to be found guilty of the theft of a beloved champion dog (from a wonderful and respected breeder/owner of frenchies), and be allowed to continue to freely participate in AKC events is absolutely heinous. It really is contrary to the AKC's mission statement. What message does the AKC's decision regarding Hedlund's guilty actions convey to junior handlers, those new to the sport, as well as the general public, etc? What if it was YOUR dog????
