AKC Censors Critic Of Cruel Marketing Tactics

Bouy, along the Snake River in Idaho (10/12/22)

Ms. Rackley mocked my suffering. Repeat: she mocked my suffering and my dog’s suffering.

I could be the first to ever be cancelled by the American Kennel Club (AKC). And I say “fuck these greedy and cruel psychopaths!”

Some might think that the event I describe below is humiliating or embarrassing to me personally, but I take exactly the opposite perspective.

This episode reveals the depraved and cruel commercial conduct of an elite member of the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the AKC’s apparent tolerance of that conduct.

It is no secret that my dog and I have suffered from his decline from chronic arthritis over the last 6 months.

Frankly, I’ve never been so preoccupied, depressed, and paralyzed with anxiety in managing his suffering and contemplating putting him down to end his suffering.

For an extremely active outdoor dog who loved the wild and acted more like a wolf in the wild than a domestic animal – yet retaining a domestic dog’s love of people – this crippling chronic disease is especially painful to watch.

Here’s the story:

To divert my mind from Bouy’s demise and explore finding a new canine lover, I’ve recently hit the AKC website to look for puppies.

I know I should have known better, because Bouy is a rescue dog and there is a surplus of gorgeous dogs to rescue out there.

But I did it anyway. Maybe we should just blame the internet. I’ll take some of the blame as well for being a fool.

Anyway, one elite commercial AKC dog marketer I came across was a woman named Chrystal Rackley, from Apple Valley Ca.

Not only did she snobbishly market the genetic endowment of her “AKC award winning” puppies, she turned out to be a cruel and greedy retaliatory bitch.

In calling her out for that cruelty, apparently she got my AKC account blocked and I can no longer look at beautiful pictures of puppies:

Subject: Inquiry regarding member conduct and blocked AKC account

Greetings – I am a longtime dog owner/lover and recently retired professional and traveling in an RV.

I write to you to file a complaint against an AKC member and because my AKC account has been blocked, for unknown reasons.

Here’s the story.

Over the last few months, as my 12 year old Lab has been suffering from severe chronic arthritis, I’ve medicated him and struggled with decisions on putting him down.

I recently began looking on the AKC website for a puppy to offset the emotional impact and form a loving relationship with a new canine friend.  I had very positive and empathic conversations in seeking a gorgeous fox red lab from one of your members, Susan Burkey (Arizona). But the timing of my dog’s health and that puppy litter did not work out. Susan completely understood this.

I then explored puppies with another AKC member, Chrystal Rackley, from Apple Valley Ca.

Ms. Rackley mocked my suffering. Repeat: she mocked my suffering and my dog’s suffering.

I found that deplorable and unacceptable conduct and wrote to tell her so.

Apparently, that negative exchange triggered my blocked AKC account.

I demand restoration of my account and for AKC to investigate and discipline the unprofessional and cruel conduct of Ms. Rackley.

I have lots of media experience and no reservations with going to the media about this ugly conduct. I don’t think that would benefit AKC reputation.

Respectfully,

Bill Wolfe
