801 1 Jul 2005 - 21:06    Roxanna Springer : As the letter says, this conduct is so very prejudicial to the sport of purebred dogs; AKC should punish this conduct severely.
802 1 Jul 2005 - 21:11    Tish Brockmire : The AKC used to stand for integrity, the integrity of the sports, the integrity of the breeds and breeders. It used to mean something. These days the lowlifes of the world think nothing of thumbing their nose and biding their time, playing against odds and working your system. Why? Because they continually get away with it - even when they're caught in acts of extreme misconduct! Here again, is another one. "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." Shame,shame, shame on you, American Kennel Club.
803 1 Jul 2005 - 21:32    sharon wilson : unbelieveable
804 1 Jul 2005 - 22:09    Pam Seifert :
805 1 Jul 2005 - 22:36    Anita Sanders : For the safety of all dogs, I encourage you to set a strong precedence in banning Clover Hedlund for life from the AKC.
806 1 Jul 2005 - 23:07    Fiona Galbraith :
807 2 Jul 2005 - 1:07    Marcia Proud : The AKC needs to revisit this situation.
808 2 Jul 2005 - 1:14    Linda Stuckwish : AKC decision is wrong. If AKC wishs to make decisions based upon strict written word of the by-laws then it's time to ammend the by-laws to punish this type of behavior.
809 2 Jul 2005 - 3:50    Teri Wright : Unreal, I can't believe AKC won't suspend this person. It need's to look at this situation more seriously rather than brushing it off their backs.
810 2 Jul 2005 - 8:00    Anthony Cantor : If this happened to any of us, We would be devestated that AKC would not take a stricter stand. Clearly he has been convicted of these offenses. What more proof does the AKC need?
811 2 Jul 2005 - 9:15    Christine Thorpe : AKC needs to take a stand against such an illegal and immoral act. Suspend Ms. Hedlund!
812 3 Jul 2005 - 8:19    Loretta Simpson :
813 3 Jul 2005 - 21:59    Keith Bailey :
814 4 Jul 2005 - 3:28    Wendy Warnock :
815 4 Jul 2005 - 10:51    Roxanne : Having my dogs stolen recently, I certainly would be outraged IF this happened. The emotional trauma alone is worth suspension/BANNING.
816 4 Jul 2005 - 13:28    carole ervin : A person that would do such an act needs to be Suspended!!
817 4 Jul 2005 - 23:32    T. Henry : Shame....
818 5 Jul 2005 - 1:08    Julie : This type of conduct cannot be tolerated.
819 5 Jul 2005 - 4:08    Mary S. Hewitt : Since Ms. Hedlund was convicted in a court of law the AKC should further impose penalties for conduct prejudicial to all breeds. The court indicated support of Mr. Alford by ordering her to pay Mr. Alford $10,000.
820 6 Jul 2005 - 21:04    Melissa Duer : Just for money & she new that her dogs could not compete with this dog. Ms. Hedlund should not be around compitition or the animals. Whats next?
821 8 Jul 2005 - 23:27    Angie Crowl : :(
822 9 Jul 2005 - 5:14    Sheryl L. Kapella :
823 10 Jul 2005 - 1:51    CS Dunbar : How disappointing that the AKC has lost sight of it's entrusted responsibilities.
824 11 Jul 2005 - 3:28    Richard A. Bredahl :
825 11 Jul 2005 - 8:45    Cheryl Rausch : AKC should reconsider. Suspension has been given for less!
826 14 Jul 2005 - 18:51    Connie Janus : wow! what an outrage. If this is all that happens to a person that does this, makes you wonder how many others would attempt this in the future. Siple slap on wrist shame on you AKC! She should be suspended for LIFE!!!
827 29 Jul 2005 - 1:50    Joan Spevak : Do you really want this kind of person in your association?
828 17 Aug 2005 - 20:43    Jasmine Peck :
829 24 Aug 2005 - 16:28    Kelly Ward :
830 25 Aug 2005 - 21:46    Paula Collins :
831 26 Aug 2005 - 0:26    Sarah Moore :
832 26 Aug 2005 - 2:05    David Autin : I agree that the person who stole and neutered the dog should be punished, in the court of law and though AKC. It is pathetic that AKC has not suspended her already!
833 26 Aug 2005 - 2:10    Roseann A. Davis : That AKC refuses to suspend Ms. Hedlund for her criminal actions speaks volumes about AKC.
834 26 Aug 2005 - 3:10    Helen Jones : Shame!! If stealing isn't enough, why isn't permentally ruining a dogs future and career something to be suspended for!!???
835 29 Aug 2005 - 15:27    Robin Exsted : This is sad, she should be out for life.
836 22 Sep 2005 - 3:47    Karen Adams : Ms. Hedlund should be permanently suspended. People are suspended for minor inconsequential actions. This was an illegal crime of significant proportions.
837 10 Oct 2005 - 20:34    Amy Sadowski : How pathetic that the AKC didn't think of this first. Are we the only ones looking at this case? AKC Open Your Eyes! You are supporting a Felon who is jepordizing your paying members! I will make sure that everyone I know hears about this - the grapevine reaches far and wide!
838 17 Oct 2005 - 19:57    Larry W Dosier : If AKC will not support legal ownership and possession of dogs by the registered owner by enforcement penalties, what are they good for?
839 1 Dec 2005 - 20:11    Art McDonald :
840 3 Dec 2005 - 22:42    Andrea Smith : AKC should never tolerate a THIEF. The theft was bad enough, but then she had the dog neutered!!! That is twice wrong!
841 4 Dec 2005 - 9:03    Annie Lucky : I dont know why she stole the dog, but if she was convicted in a court of law of stealing then she should be banned from AKC events. People are kicked out for just swearing, stealing and neutering some one else's dog, no matter what they think of the other person, is not right at all. AKC is also starting to take it upon itself to be a inspection body rather then a registry and they are raising all their fees because of it. I can see why people are joining UKC and other registries. AKC is also backing the new PAWS legislation which will allow puppy mills to produce as many poor quality dogs as they want while limiting show breeders to only 6 litters a year. I dont think AKC is representing its members anymore.
842 2 Jan 2006 - 17:47    Mathew Berg : With the crime she did she should be out for life.
843 4 Apr 2006 - 20:10    Richard Demo : Shame you nuter lady! SHAME!
844 28 Nov 2006 - 8:55    Penny M Spencer :
845 16 Mar 2007 - 2:57    Tina : Because this is not good sportsmanship. Who wants to see a dog breeder get away with such horrible acts against another breeder.
846 5 Aug 2007 - 6:10    Steven Hammock : It is 8/5/2007, I am signing this petition because Ms. Hedlund has been a resident of our apartment building in Bemidji, Minnesota for the last couple months, up until 8/1/2007. She lived in the basement area of our home with her dogs. During the time she lived in this apartment I personally never saw her take all of her dogs outside to use the bathroom. There were reports from neighbors that 9 dogs were living in the basement however I can only confirm seeing 5. Irregardless, she and her family locked these dogs inside the house for extended periods of time. When she left the premises the landlord and I had to rip up all the carpet downstairs, including the carpet all the way up the stairs to the entry way. The smell of ammonia and fesces was so horrible in our house we were worried that it was affecting our 1 year old son and the only thing that finally helped the smell was when the landlord poured bleech on the floors to sanitize them. I don't think anyone realized when he did it that there is a potential reaction between ammonia and bleech that can liberate chlorine gas (otherwise known as mustard gas!).While I was ripping up the carpet, I personally discovered animal bones inside the sauna stove and when I talked with the neighbors they told me they knew that Ms. Hedlund had a cat which was killed by one of the dogs (in their apartment) and left dead for days before they disposed of it. Nobody knew how they disposed of it (go figure - they burned it in the sauna stove!). If that is not strange enough, in the kitchen area of their basement apartment we discovered the lid of a bowl which had dead geckos/lizards that had been there long enough to become dried out and brittle.During the time that these people lived below us we spent many sleepless nights listening to what sounded like a pack of dogs barking inside our house. On occasion, we heard ferocious dogfighting, squeeling and crying sounds coming from the basement in the middle of the night. For the
847 13 Aug 2007 - 3:49    Mike Wyatt : Dear Mr Sharp, this is very troubling, why aren't you taking this more serious. Please reconsider and do something to prevent this from ever happening again.
