[PepperAnn]

I believe the dog registration world is getting to be or has been like the horse bussiness. we have walking horses and in order to be reg. walking they need to be blood typed as do akc male dogs for breeding purposes. so there is numerous associations for the horse registration you would not belive that do not cost or do not need blood typing so that the person could have some kind of identification with there breed. so i belive that is what the dog side of it is doing. there is numerous registrations out there. the papers do not make the horse as do dog papers do not make the dog. of course having a set of papers helps. i also raise boer goats. and let me tell you some of there papers are worth more then the goat. go figure. PepperAnn is (and i am sure lots others) is AKC and CkC. so I even thought of going all the way and doing all the other dog reg. places too. why not that would be like My dog is Quidrupled registered... not sure why i would need such registrations, but which Club is the oldest that would show the way back ancestors that all these other clubs need to copy off or as they say Recognized???hmmmmm
