As I had stated in my previous posting that is what I was told a year ago by a AKC representative. I was told that AKC would not register an CKC puppy,even though the parent was AKC and CKC registered. The breeders in this area don't want to deal with the political stuff AKC requires and all of the fees, so they have turned to CKC. The majority of the pups are larger than the AKC, that might also stem from they were not raised to be show. There are also large AKC, I never stated that there were not. Someone was asking what to buy I only told them what I have been told by AKC directly. As far as cross breeding goes I was also told that you can breed relatives that were further apart on the family tree, not dad-daughter,grandpa-granddaughter, but to breed cousins. This would reduce the risks of deformities. The thinner the blood relation the better off the line will be. I have personally seen what inbreeding close blood lines can do and it is horrible. I did not post to argue just as everyone has stated what they know, I have done likewise, it doesn't mean that anyone was wrong. THere is a difference in the two organizations, otherwise there wouldn't be so much concern over it. |
