Most dogs that are AKC registered can be registered in other registries. The AKC on the other hand does not accept all the other registries. Your dog can be shown in conformation at here in the US at AKC, International ,UKC and just found out the other day that APRI is now offering conformation shows. Across the borders are your Canadian and Mexico shows.
With the AKC in favor of the Pet and Paws legislation- I feel that you will find more breeders not using the AKC and using other registries. Just look at the number of dogs that are with the CKC at this time. A few years ago 80% of all the dogs were AKC and now the % is dropping all the time. |
