Great article.
I would like to add, sadly this will show my ignorance, but the older members here know that I got Darci from a pet store. All I knew was that she had papers. I had no idea about AKC, APRI, etc. I thought there was only one organization. Education is the key, forums like this, supporting local humane societys, and rescue groups.
Here is a link for anyone interested from an old thread on this board.

I wanted to edit to add, I am not trying to go off topic on Debbies thread, only to add to it. If you have a response to the thread link that I provided please post it there, or start a new thread.
