"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.?? "
It comes down to Quality not Quantity....
To reg' a litter of puppies is not expensive I believe it cost me $34.00 also I did it online and received the papers in less than 7 days.
CKC has only be in business since 1996 - CONTINENTAL KENNEL CLUB
ACA for 20 years - American Canine Association
AKC since the 1800's
AKC insists on 3 generation pedigree from any agency that is eligible for dbl registration, where as the others DO NOT require any past pedigree! Others will accept a picture!
As a breeder there is comfort knowing when I bought my Yorkies I knew their past as well as I was able to contact some of the breeders to verify health of the lineage before breeding.
AKC will accept other registries....A dog whelped in the United States that is individually registered with one of the Domestic Registry Organizations listed may be eligible for registration. A three-generation certified Pedigree issued by the domestic registry organization must accompany the application for AKC registration.
Note: If the Sire and Dam of the dog, for which registration is sought are registered with the AKC, the dog is not eligible for registration in the AKC's Stud Book on the basis of its registration with another USA registry body. Standard AKC registration procedures must be followed.
