Let's say your breed wasn't AKC recognized. Would you want it to be?

[Paviche]

Why or why not?

 

[Dekka]

JRTs are not and no I wouldn't want them to be. I really like how the JRT clubs handle registration and shows. The LHWs wanted CKC recognition. I was ok with it as it would really help them.

 

[LostAndConfused]

my breed isn't AKC recognized and I like it like that.

 

[Elrohwen]

I prefer AKC registration just so I could compete with an intact dog. If they allowed intact dogs to compete who weren't registered, then I wouldn't care and would possibly prefer it to not be recognized.

samesies!

 

[Dekka]

If I lived somewhere where my dog sport venues were limited to CKC ones I might care more. But other than Obed CKC is the less popular option in the sports I am interested in.

 

[Kat09Tails]

I would be ok if they weren't. In many ways I would prefer if papillons had a registry like the original Cav registry.

 

[Laurelin]

I'd rather they had a single breed registry.

 

[Oko]

I wish they weren't!

 

[SpringerLover]

I have plenty to do outside AKC. So if there was a national breed club to take over registration then I'd be thrilled.

 

[HayleyMarie]

A big fat NO!!!

The AKC has just recognized the boerboel and added it into their registry. The breed right now is pretty much unheard of I have a feeling that as it gets more popular because of the AKC, more BYB are going to start popping up. I am worried that eventually the AKC might sway on how the dog is being bred.

But time will only tell

Absolutely never. Closed stud books are the doom of any domestic animal

It doesn't effect me right now, but I really wish being altered wasn't a requirement for canine partners. Not that I'm considering adding another dog anytime soon, but it bothers me that if I did it would have to either be an AKC recognized breed or be altered before we could compete. There are CPE trials near me, but most of the people I train with do AKC, so I would miss out on playing with friends.

 

[Applebear]

Not really, though I don't compete and it doesn't really effect me in that aspect. I do think there are some pros and cons to AKC, including some I feel are more damaging than actual preservation of the breed...but I'm not going to stick my foot too far into this one.

Just leave it at 'not really.'

Agreed.

 

[Dogdragoness]

NO! I have seen AKC registration be the doom of many breeds, I was against the JRT getting recognized and I am against the MAS as well. I agree closed stud books are the beginning of the end.
