  Breed club - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A breed club, in the hobby of dog fancy, is an organization dedicated to breeding and showing of one single breed of dog as opposed to a diverse mixture of dogs.
These breed clubs leave the function of a registry to such major kennel clubs as the American Kennel Club, the United Kennel Club, and the like and exist more for social purposes, the dissemination of news about the breed, and in some instances the organization of single-breed shows.
This is usually because they believe that the common practices of the all-breed clubs, such as maintaining closed studbooks and awarding prizes based on appearance and conformation rather than on performance, don't serve to protect the working abilities of the dogs.

 Breed registry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A breed registry, also known as a stud book or register, in animal husbandry and the hobby of animal fancy, is an official list of animals within a specific breed whose parents are known.
There are breed registries and breed clubs for several species of animal, such as dogs, horses, cows and cats.
Some multi-breed clubs also maintain registries, as do non-affiliated breed clubs, and there are a few registries that are maintained by other private entities such as insurance agencies; an example of this in the United States is the Field Dog Stud Book.

 Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club - USA - Breed History
At the end of five years little had been achieved, and the Kennel Club was of the opinion that the dogs were not in sufficient numbers, nor of a single type, to merit a breed registration separate from the Charlies.
At the first meeting of the club, held the second day of Crufts in 1928, the standard of the breed was drawn up; it was practically the same as it is today.
Ann's Son was placed on the table as the live example, and club members brought all the reproductions of pictures of the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries they could muster.

 Collie Club Of America
While the breed as we know it may have originated in Scotland, invariably we think of England as the true home of the breed.

It is from England that we find the famous pillars of the breed, from which the American fanciers sought not only their next big winner, but also their foundation stock.

 Breed club - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
In Australia, for example, it has long been rumoured that so-called animal rights groups favour legislation that would forbid the breeding of dogs from any breed recognized by the Australian National Kennel Council; this could lead to a breed's extinction.
These issues have led to situations in which unresolved conflicts have resulted in the creation of competing breed clubs for the same breed (as in the Rat Terrier clubs; notorious for the amount of illwill among them, and the clubs of the Coton de Tulear).
In the worst cases, the kennel club recognition can be compared to a hostile takeover in a Mergers and Aquisitions deal.

 rec.pets.dogs: Mastiffs Breed-FAQ
This breed is supposed to be very broad with a huge head, wide chest and large bone, and is longer in body than in height (see Appendix B, the Mastiff Conformation Standard).
Since one of the faults listed in the breed standard is "excessive white on the chest or white on any other part of the body", then a Mastiff with much white on it at all is *not* correctly marked according to the breed standard.
At a minimum, they should belong to the MCOA and/or one of regional Mastiff clubs, thus exhibiting an interest in supporting the future and direction of the breed, as well as being willing to place themselves under the oversight of their peers through the mechanism of the clubs' Code of Ethics.
