I read the site at the link, thank you for providing that. I have to say I'm more confused than ever now...Again, I have to wonder why someone would use this registry, versus AKC, seeing that they register cross breeds such as cockapoos.
Tired of registration & documentation hassles? Starting your own blood line? Lost or never had papers? Developing new breeds? Breed not recognized? DRA™ Registers all purebred dogs, breeds unrecognized by other clubs, rare breeds, and developing breeds.
DRA uses a unique classification system to distinguish pure breds from the other classes of dogs.
DRA offers lifetime registration, parchment type registration certificates, and outstanding customer service for one low registration fee.
No annual membership dues
No expensive DNA certifications on each dog
Confidentiality and Integrity
Gosh with No DNA required, and being able to register dogs who "never had papers", kind of makes you wonder if this registry isn't A. A way to get around a limited AKC registration, meaning the dog was sold not for breeding.. or B. Dogs with incorrect parantage or C. Dogs who may not be purebred, but someone would like to call them such to register their pupppies as purebred.
Just doesn't give me much of a a "warm fuzzy" feeling, or confidence in this registry. I guess that leads me to ask again, why aren't the dogs registered with AKC? One would assume if they were AKC registerable, one wouldn't need this registry.
