From the 'Faq' section of their website:
"CKC takes all complaints received about a CKC member seriously and will begin an investigation immediately. If necessary, CKC will make on-site inspections, collect sample DNA swabs, and collect documentation from professionals such as veterinarians, groomers, or breeders."
I'm sure you could contact the organization if you want an in depth description of their procedures for handling these situations and they would help you out.
As far as 'links,' |
I'm sorry, but are you sure you are not confusing the CKC Continental Kennel Club with the legitimate Canadian Kennel Club (CKC)? As far as personal experience goes, sometimes people are mistaken. It's good to have things backed up with facts. I personally wouldn't take someone's word over the phone, I would want to see it in writing because that's the only way you can be sure, or have legal recourse.
Here is information taken from taken from AKC website:
"The AKC is the
only purebred registry in the United States with an ongoing routine kennel inspection program. The AKC has a dedicated team of field inspectors who visit kennels to ensure the proper care and conditions of AKC-registered dogs and verify that breeders are maintaining accurate records for their dogs. In 2007, AKC field inspectors conducted approximately 5,600 inspections nationwide. The AKC dedicates nearly $6 million annually to its compliance programs to ensure the accuracy of its registry and the care and conditions of dogs raised by breeders of AKC dogs."
