Hoping Someone Can Answer This For Me

I guess it's also a matter of personal perspective.

I have an aquaintence who breeds "Beagliers". When I got my first Cavalier bitch he suggested I send her down to "visit" his dog when she was old enough!

I explained to him that I was planning to be involved with the ANKC, she was a registered bitch, that I wanted to show and hopefully breed Cavaliers in the future and that this was against the principles set out in the Breeders Examination I was going to sit. I went on to explain to him about how I couldn't cross bred my bitch or even bred her with an unregistered purebred Cavalier according to the directives set out.

He told me I should tell the ANKC to "Get F*#$ed" and how dare they tell me what I could and could'nt do with my own dog!

I told him I didn't have a problem with the guidelines set out and that IMO they were there for the betterment of the breed. We left it at that.
