I have to ask why anyone with an AkC registered dog would register with CKC(continental) unles they have lost the right to AKC privledges. The fees for AKC are not that expensive, so I just dont get it. So, then I ask, how is CKC(continental) registering dogs without papers. And, if AkC papers are supplied, how do they know those papers go to that dog? And if the dog has AKC papers, why register with CKC(continental)? And how do you find a reputable breeder through CKC(continental) when they dont have conformation shows or have any breed standards? Has anyone ever herd of a kennel inspection done by CKC(continental)?Does CKC(continental) ever fund canine research? Do they ever do canine public relations? Just wondering what the benefit it would be to go to another registry.

You said what I was thinking much less confrontationally. Good points.
