	American Kennel Club - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The AKC is not the only registry of purebred dogs, but it is the one with which most Americans are familiar.
		For a dog to be registered with the AKC, the dog's parents must be registered with the AKC as the same breed, and the litter in which the dog is born must be registered with the AKC.
		As of October 2004, the AKC recognizes only 157 of the hundreds of dog breeds known around the world, and another 51 rare breeds can be registered in its Foundation Stock Service.

	Puppy Mills & the AKC
		AKC officials had known for several years that Myers was failing to keep proper records to prove that her dogs were purebred, AKC reports show.
		In an Inquirer investigation, six former AKC inspectors said in lengthy interviews that the dog registry of the American Kennel Club, a nonprofit organization widely regarded as the guarantor of the pedigrees of purebred dogs, is largely a sham.
		Rona Farley, a former AKC inspector based in Pennsylvania from 1991 to 1995, estimated in a court affidavit that in her four years on the job, 90 percent of the breeders she inspected failed to meet AKC record-keeping requirements.

	AKC/CKC Papers:
		AKC had some sort of a breed code, it has no system to verify, no means of controlling or policing anything a breeder does.
		Because the AKC and CKC both try to accommodate about 140 different breeds, their breed requirements have to be very simple.
		Worst of all, the AKC and CKC will allow any inbreeding, such as father-daughter, brother-sister (in people, that would be called "incest"), and will register those puppies as pure-bred without indicating the inbreeding on their registration certificates.

	NAIA: AKC actions taking toll on commercial kennels (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		AKC rules for registration and identification of breeding stock require breeders to keep detailed records of their breedings and number of pups in a litter and to identify every dog so that anyone could match the page in the record book with the dog in the kennel.
		AKC will also suspend any breeder convicted of cruelty or neglect, any breeder who surrenders dogs in order to avoid suspension or conviction, and any exhibitor who substitutes dogs in the ring or shows a dog that has been dyed or surgically altered.
		AKC registration was once considered a necessity to assure high prices for purebred dogs, but such is no longer the case.

	AKC History
		AKC was receptive to the concept of changing registration policy if all three clubs were willing to consider unification into one club.
		In addition AKC clarifies its 1995 rescinding of the 3 generation import regulation explaining that if the sire or dam of an import is AKC registered, AKC registration will only be given to the imported offspring if it is the same breed as its AKC registered parent.
		In April, AKC sends a letter to 3 Belgian clubs requesting 2 representatives to be selected per club to attend a meeting in New York with AKC.

	Dog Owner's Guide: AKC And Registration
		AKC registration works like this: When puppies are whelped, the breeder registers the litter; AKC sends a blue slip for each puppy in the litter; the breeder signs the puppy over to the buyer, who then registers the individual puppy in his name and is sent a registration certificate.
		AKC registration means that the parent dogs were registered, that an irresponsible breeder lied or was mistaken about the breeding that produced the litter, or that an unprincipled breeder was commiting outright fraud to raise the value of the puppies.
		AKC will investigate and may revoke the litter registration if the puppies or adult dogs do not have the appearance of the breed they are registered as.

	What does "AKC" really mean? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In an effort to maintain the integrity of their database, random inspections are performed by AKC personnel, to ensure that breeders are adhering to the regulations regarding paperwork and identification of dogs and to ensure that the dogs are receiving proper care.
		The AKC is currently using DNA testing during it’s inspections to verify the parentage of dogs on the premises, but this is only done on a very small percentage of breeders.
		When a dog is eligible for AKC registration, all that means is that the breeder is in good standing with the AKC and both the sire and the dam (as recorded by the breeder) are registered with the AKC.

	PBGVCA-AKC Delegate
		The AKC is developing alternative revenue sources, but registration continues to be 54% of total revenues in 2000 and 63% in 2002 so the impact of declining registration is a major concern.
		The AKC Gazette was the recipient of 6 awards at the Dog Writers Association of America's annual banquet, 2-9-03.
		It is the AKCs position that the users and beneficiaries of AKC services share in at least a portion of the costs of the Events Department.

	The AKC Takeover of Rare Breeds, part 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In AKC l ingo, the phrase "not recognized" means only one thing: "the AKC does not register dogs of this breed in its main registration system." The AKC has long wanted an orderly system to incorporate rare breeds into this registry.
		The AKC claims that inclusion in the AKC-FSS program means "there must be some parent club that is organizing and working on having the breed recognized by the AKC." Yet, neithe r the Middle Asian Owtcharka, the Mi-Ki, or the Treeing Tennessee Brindle are listed by the AKC as having a representative parent club.
		Instead, AKC Officials call the FSS a "Foundation Stock Service" (the first use of that term in the dog fancy) which they claim is "nothing more than a record keeping system." As one official told us, "we [AKC] are maintaining the records for a rare breed club that may not want to do that.

	AKC
		AKC registration requires photos and a fee of 50.00 along with a copy of the FCI export pedigree and the proper forms from AKC filled in.
		AKC registration on ANY pup (imported or born in USA to AKC parents) is NOT guaranteed by AKC themselves.
		Again AKC does not imply quality, it does not imply you have a Champion dog, a healthier dog, it is merely a registry that will register purebred dogs with the correct proof.

	The AKC Controversy
		Several well-known AKC obedience competitors with Border Collies, most of whom had signed open letters opposing AKC recognition a few years earlier, now decided that the risk of losing their right to show in AKC events was too daunting, and they joined the BCSA.
		Although AKC had always maintained that it is the parent breed club, intimately familiar with its breed, that adopts the breed standard and sets the policies for its breed, on this occasion AKC did not designate a parent club for the Border Collie.
		AKC, which of course had no previous familiarity with Border Collies except for issuing them ILP numbers, itself adopted a breed standard that defines what a Border Collie should be and how it should look.

		Soon the pet buyer will not differentiate between a puppy raised diligently by a responsible dog fancy breeder who had spent years honing their breeding skills attempting to uphold breed standards or the mass produced puppies that resemble the breed standards but are instead mass produced under sometimes horrible kennel conditions.
		As much as the AKC would like to cloud the message NO RESPONSIBLE breeder would allow their puppies to be distributed by either Hunte Corp or any pet store in the country.
		We all thought he meant AKC was going to link with parent clubs, giving enhanced visibility to their respective "litter listings" and breeder referral people.

		The JRTCA is proud of its membership, who -- like their terriers -- are a feisty, scrappy lot who fiercely protect their breed in the face of any foe.
