| I just looked them up on the internet. I would be leary of a breeder using this registry because the way it looks that anyone could breed and register a dog with this registry. There site says any pure breed dog can be registered with them even if they aren't previously registered. There website is : www.worldkennelclub.com Hope this helps you. |

| Wkc It sounded European, then I see they are in Oklahoma..a nice state I am sure, but far from being the WORLD...many breeders use the generic registry because they can not register the litter with AKC. |

| not really sure what WKC is because i've never heard of it. A lot of people are comparing other different registries with AKC. Why is that? Are they suppose to be the best? |

| I wouldn't trust anything other than AKC. Those other kennel clubs do not have the same breed standards, and accept just about any mix of a dog as a breed. But that is just me, the AKC is the oldest, and they set the standards. |

| Akc The AKC is the oldest canine registry in the US. One of the responsiblities of a KC is to protect the breed. AKC is one of only a tiny few I see doing this now. Many registries allow mixed breed litters to obtain papers..they allow breeders to re-register and change adult names..how can a pedigree ever be accurate with a practice such as this..? Stressing the standard, DNA, supporting dog events, shows, education, prompts the best in a breed..it does not destroy it..I feel most non-AKC registeries are lacking in protecting the purebred dog, by keeping it purebred. Mixed breeds are wonderful dogs..there is nothing negative in owning one or a dozen, but without strict rules and regs, the breeder can do as they please..and when breeders do as they pleas, with no regard to the rules, the dog suffers much of the time.
