That is just how I feel, my breed clubs code of ethics is much stronger than the KC requirements so why should I line the KC's pockets to prove I am doing less than I have always done.

Now if they gave Ethical breeders a discount on their fees for having high standards then I could see the point.

After all most serious breeders pay every year to keep their affix going, that's money for nothing. Some people have an affix and don't even breed and what does the kennel club give them for their money each year?
