This is simply more proof that AKC does not care about what is
"right". It's all about "where is the
money" to them. They lost my respect a long time ago. They need to
get their hands out of their pockets and start acting responsibly.
Apparently Hedlund has more dogs registered with AKC than Alford. |

Shouldn't you view this as a kidnapping just like the government
would if it were a human being? I live outside the U.S. and your country is
living under an "anything goes" mentality nowadays. Very
sad! |

The woman is unscrupleous and a detriment to dogs. She should have all
privledges suspended for life. |

the conduct prejudicial to the sport of purebred dogs is in this case
eliminating this dog from the gene pool. |

Delmont Fredricks :
I wonder if the AKC would have taken more action if she had killed the dog?
How can anyone feel their dogs are safe at AKC events if they are
unwilling to even take action against a fancier with a dog related felony
conviction!! |

Barbara H. Winn :
This is deplorable and inexcusable. The penalty should carry life-time
suspension. Perhaps we have the wrong people handling the AKC and should be
removed from office. Officers that can read and enforce the Consitution,
By-laws and Rules of OUR CLUB should be seated. |

John F. McCullagh :
Citing "conduct prejudicial to the sport of purebred
dogs" applies, in the main, to conduct at shows and events. Nobody
has indicated that this dog was stolen from a show or event site.
If a strict interpretation of current AKC rules and regs does not cover
tbis situation, then it is time to amend them as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, there must be some provision In AKC rules and regs that can
provide for some sort of a sanction against Ms.Hedlund without running the
risk of a counter suit.

Susann Everett :
At a time when it is critical that that the dog world presents itself with
integrity and solidarity, I find it an atrosity that the AKC would not
suspend Clover Hedlund for an illegal act in reference to a purebred dog,
or any dog for that matter.
I petition the AKC to reconsider what can only be considered a lapse in
judgement. |

why in the world would AKC want this person to continue to be aa

Pamela T. Terry :
Criminal acts involving an animal should be penalized by AKC. Failure to
do so, in a sense, endorses the action in question. I would sincerely hope
that this decision would be revisited by the Board. |

Marlin L. Bender :
It appears that the AKC is truely "in it for the money".
Not prohibiting Hedlund from showing in the future will certainly keep me
from entering any shows that she might attend.
P.S. AKC this will cost you money in the long run. |

Gloria S.Dittmann :
It seems, to me, that theft of a purebred dog is 'conduct
prejudicial to the sport of purebred dogs', especially if the
perpetrator then castrated the animal. There must be some provision in the
AKC rules and regulations that will cover the suspension of this person. I
urge the AKC legal team to find such a provision and implement it in this
case. |

I am just curious, what monetary compensation did AKC get out of it? If
nothing, then why allow this horrible person to maintain her AKC
priviledges. I wouldnt want to be caught dead in the ring with such a
de****able person, nor would I want to somehow acquire a dog from her. Do
the right thing!! |

fellow competitors, one surely should be suspended for this cruelty. |
