This sounds like something that the commercial breeders passed through. This is another reason that pet owners should be more involved, I think we could let the AKC know that we don't like this. One of the advantages of the AKC over other registries is that they do DNA testing, and now they're saying that just because it doesn't match the dog can still be registered with a Q limitation, and this only lasts three generations? For shame, good for the YTCA for keeping on top of this! I wonder if having a petition that AKC pet owners could sign would help? |
The DNA testing is for dogs bred 3 times in a year or 7 times in a lifetime....However, I do have my boys DNA tested as pups....I'm now beginning to DNA my girls too.
With the above, several loops holes have been discovered by Puppy Mills, BYBers, Unscrupulous Breeders, etc. Don't know what they are but, they are getting dogs AKC registered, that shouldn't be.
