Maybe one of ground level issues is there does not seem to any professional organzation that does substantially represent the breeder/dealer community...at least in North America. Yes there is a local Shinkokai district. As I remember they have ~15 members. And while that represent a significant amount of higher end dealers, it does not represent them all. And of course it no way represents the petstores or backyard dealers.

Usually professional organzaitons happen due to some combination of positive and negative pressures/threads. Is KHV enough to galvanize the pros into a single org that respresents most of them? I guess only time will tell. If so, it is that org that should produce standards for their profession.......in the same way as the Bar Assoociations govern lawyers and the AMA does Doctors.
