How did this pilot project move forward then?
This seemed to come out of no-where. Now remember we are an organization with 25,000 or so members, many are not breeders. CKC is organized differently to AKC in that AKC does not have individual members per say, but breed clubs as members and of course their High Volumne Breeders who are not members of any Breed club.
For me what is very very important is the apparent changing of the definition of what a purebred dog is. That is very scarey and very dangerous. And I believe that non-breeders truly don't get it! I have no idea why these seven clubs went along with the CKC, maybe they know something we do not, and WHAT WE ALL SHOULD!!!
CKC has not communicated their advanced intentions or thoughts, nor truly explained why this ROE change is actually necessary........

Yes, I agree, it is a concern. I mean breed clubs are suppose to define standard, and registries are suppose to be fanatical about keeping accurate records. Does this mean that someone could have an unregistered dog that looked like a breed and get it registered? Hope you can get the support you need from some of the breed clubs over here, I just don't understand why they would want to do this, is there a lack of interest in showing and more and more breeders are breeding dogs that do not look anything like standard? It would be great to know why they thing they should do this.
