Registration services provide proof of ownership, allow the dog to participate in our performance events, allow CKC to record the accomplishments of the owner and these canines, and make available all of the great services CKC has to offer. |
Yep. Calling it "registration" is pretty misleading, IMO, because that's not actually what it is in the sense that many people think it is. Then again, what
would you call that would be any better, you know?

Like you said though, the general public doesn't know because they don't take the time to understand what it means. That's not CKC or AKCs fault. The "papers" she had didn't say "this is a purebred dog called a Morkie", it's nothing more than a certificate indicating that the dog is from two purebred dogs so they benefit as aforementioned.
Again though...the same thing that AKC does with the exception of requiring s/n.
AKC does NOT check to ensure dogs living standards are met. When they do inspections all they are checking is the records that are kept, if papers are being falsified, frequent sires DNA'd etc. (Which, BTW, CKC does too if you make a complaint against someone, just not randomly) Their inspections don't have diddly squat to do with the conditions the dogs are kept in.
