ACC says NO to AKC

Unfortunately the USACTC has voted to become the parent club of the AKC for the Coton de Tulear.

The ACC will remain the #1 Rare Breed Coton Club in America and always will.

We are here for you, please come and join us if you feel betrayed or unhappy with the future of the Coton in the AKC.

The Official Petition

Ok Folks, this is the "official" petition!
If you are against the Coton de Tulear becoming recognized as an AKC breed, please sign it.
This is the link :
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/429/petition-to-protest-against-akc-recognition-for-cotons
The results of the poll will be sent to the AKC so that they may see how the vast majority of the Coton world does not support the breed going to the AKC. If they do not see this as the economic bonanza they expect it to be perhaps our breed will look less attractive.
The AKC support and encourages puppy mills, as evidenced by the mere fact they will allow registrations of puppy mill dogs, attendance at puppy auctions, and support of the Hunte co.
We must protect the Coton from having the increased numbers being an AKC breed will bring.
Please sign now!

Please call AKC to give them your opinion

To AKC or Not?

The USACTC has announced the desire to take the Coton de Tulear to the AKC. The ACC is against the action as we would like the Coton to remain a rare breed.
There is a group online who are discussing the pro's and con's to the breed going AKC. If you would like to join the discussion or just lurk, here is the link:
AKC or Not Group
There will be a formal petition later for all Coton breeders and owners to voice their opinion whether they will support the AKC if the Coton if the USACTC or any other club is successful in their bid for the AKC.
Please stay tuned for new information as it becomes available.
