To me... i don't care where my pups is register at.. they are pure breed and that is that. But in reading the AKC website..I come to the conclusion that AKC is just one big monopoly. Everyone else will accept AKC registered pups but they won't accept anyone else.?? come on... AKC is big because they have been around and have the money to be in the public's eye. That is the only difference. They can afford to hold shows. Best in show this and best in show that... if they are so perfect, why can't they allow an ACA or CKC or any other registry dog compete???? To me dog show is a sport and in any sport... you are NOT the best until you compete against everyone. You have the best yorkie AKC vs the best yorkie of other registry compete and you'll find it hard to judge as they all might be of the same caliber....cus they all are "pure breed". I think the reason why now alot of people register with CKC is because they work fast. I just recently register my yorkie (Hercules) with them and it take them a week to complete it. Where as I sent in the same time the registration of my other yorkies (Mercy and Sadie) it takes AKC almost two months to complete. All in all it boils down to how much you love your dog.... so it shouldn't matter if they are with AKC or CKC... |
