AKC was never meant to prove ownership, it's only a registry for bloodlines. If you are using a handler to show your dog, you should have a clear contract. Many breeders who offer breeding dogs insist they be shown first and maintain part ownership in them, but that usually to protect them from unscrupulous breeders. I'm glad Kerosene has been found and hope they can work out their problems, but this is a good reminder to get things in writing. |
