There are a lot of Yorkie forums with good information. Just looks to me like I picked the wrong one. Seems we don't measure up to your standards but that's okay. We have been through a lot down here on the Gulf Coast and it has just made us stronger. No hard feelings. We are all good here. |
Hi there,
The reason ACA is not a respected registry is b/c they do not ask for proof of lineage of your dog. They do not even ask for a photo to see if your dog looks like the breed you are registering it as. All the require is payment and you get your papers. Same thing with APRI, and I'm sure there's others I am forgetting. yes, ACA has been around for a long time, but it is b/c along time ago, certain breeders were not up to par according to the AKC so they formed their OWN registry. That is basically like, if I get kicked out of a mother club, I decide I just make my own, and make my own rules, or lack thereof. Just b/c I am around for a while doesn't make me credible, understand? The amount of breeders that have been kicked out of AKC keeps growing and growing, and where do they register their dogs? Places like ACA.
Lots of us on here have dogs that are not AKC. But it is important to understand not to support these other registeries b/c it is confusing to the unaware public, who thinks papers are papers.
