I'm no expert but did know this and wondered too. I was and still am sadly dissapointed with the AKC. We need them - yet they don't stand for what they are susposed to stand for - too many contradictions.
It's the sole reason I never formally registered my girls. Chanel almost was, but I pulled out. I saw no reason to give them any money for a piece of paper since I had NO intention of ever breeding.
I'd be interested in what the long time breeders say too. |
