Well, since other thread was locked. Perhaps, this is the right place to post this. I hope Don will bring this to the next AKCA Board as well.

The AKCA Dealer BHP Certification Program has many flaws including liability and legality. AKCA Board should drop this program immediately. Period. This program will create more headache and more problem for AKCA. It can be a good program for FDA or other, where they have power of policy and enforcement, but it is not a good thing for non-profit hobbyists organization like AKCA.

This is not to finger pointing to any individual including Spike Cover. I know Spike has spent a lot of his time for those programs, his dedication to the hobby is exceptional. I personally just want to see AKCA knows their limitations and AKCA Programs need to heading to the right direction.
Having said that, if any one of you want to blame, it should be AKCA Board, the top board that decided to allow this program to be as part of the AKCA in the first place. Anyway, no one perfect, we all make a lot of mistakes from time to time. With that, I hope AKCA will make the right decision at this time.
