AKC has existed since the 1800's
ACA is 20 years old
CKC - not sure
AKC has very strick standards and will not register a litter AKC if one parent is an ACA or a CKC. AKC will not accept ACA or a CKC registration. AKC tracks by pedigree ONLY. AKC has show quality standards.
ACA will accept a picture and letter from the owner of the animal or written information from a vet (stating your dog is a purebed) a pedigree is not necessary, thus allowing a non-papered animal to become papered. ACA will accept AKC registration. ACA has no defined show quality standard. There is no past pedigree required....
CKC Dogs over 6 months of age which have no previous Registration history may be registered by providing 2 witness signatures attesting to the purebred status of the dog along with 3 photos (front,left and right) of the dog to confirm it is ‘of proper breed type’ no past pedigree required...no defined show quality standard.
