YorkieRose: I am talking about the FCI not the YTCA.
The Fédération Cynologique Internationale is the World Canine Organisation. It includes 80 members and contract partners (one member per country) that each issue their own pedigrees and train their own judges. The FCI makes sure that the pedigrees and judges are mutually recognized by all the FCI members.
What i think is that basically any kennel club that doesn;t obide by their stardards does not have the dog's pedigree valid worldwide. i posted the link to their website above..
mmyorkies...AKC is affiliated to FCI, isn't it? I always thought so...Mojo was born in Brazil and his pedrigree thru the brazilian kennel club is affiliated to FCI so is valid worldwide...for me to transfer to AKC all i have to do is pay a fee of $50. |
