EDITOR’S NOTE: While perusing some past issues over the weekend, we came across this article written by the late, great Herman Felton. For those of you that didn’t know Herman, he and his wife Judy were outstanding breeders/owners and respected judges.

Unfortunately, they never got the attention of the powers at AKC. Here is one of his thought-provoking articles that shows his foresight regarding the future of AKC and the sport. Enjoy.
