Raw Tidbit 2 - Dangers of Being Involved with Purebred Dogs

This episode focuses on the danger of Animal Rights groups and what they do to people involved with Purebred Dogs. We are about conservation of breeds but groups like PETA are against animal ownership and things that they consider to be "exploiting" animals even if the dog's love it. Here are my experiences with PETA more information.

Episode 8 - Otterhound

This rare scenthound is fully recognized by the AKC so it is classified as one of our "popular" breeds even though this breed is actually one of the rarest breeds in the world.
