These miscontents and banned breeders set up their own registeries so they could still call their dogs/puppies registered -- that was the only reason -- not to keep detailed records of breeding history, not to help in refining and improving breeds, not to help educate the public on dog care, breeding, and health -- but just to put $$$ in their filthy pockets. I would NEVER send a dime to those registeries! |
I can't verify the true reasons for "why" these alternate registries were founded and I can't testify to the inner workings of every one of them, but to imply that none of them contribute positively to the dog world is completely untrue. Many of these alternate registries host various events and seminars too. That's definitely a positive attribute. Having attended quite a few of them myself over the years, it was my observation that they most certainly promoted the ethics, both in regards to breeding and responsible pet ownership that most of us preach about on here all the time.
