Large Registration Organizations have recently started registering many new and so called "rare
breeds" to increase their base and generate more income.

In the beginning of creating new breeds, the founders usually set up their own registration books.
As Owners multiply
...... a 'Breed Club' comes together.
Soon folks start talking about becoming "RECOGNIZED" because they feel that if they are not registered
with one of the large Registration Organizations that the average citizen will say they are not really a true
breed.
This is not true.
If you are a 'breed' you BE-GET consistently and each and every pup
that is
born conforms to the breed standards.
No registration organization will make you any
more or less a breed.
Breeds were breeds without the large breed registration organizations
registering their dogs many, many years ago.
Back then the breed club was in charge, held meetings and kept the
books. The breed club was the back bone of the breed and it was up to them to make sure that their breed was properly bred.
Everyone knew each other. Everyone knew their dogs. Judges were chosen out of their own members. The breed club would never
think of having a outsider judge their dogs. Nor would they consider having a particular 'hound judge' or 'herding dog
judge' Judge their breed of dog. Who better to judge their dogs, but they themselves?
That is the way it was done for centuries until groups of Breed Clubs got together and decided
to put on gatherings or Bench Shows thus forming the
American Kennel Club (AKC). This started with the higher up folks
with their noses in the air. People that thought that BEAUTY was the way to go.
Soon other Kennel Clubs were born who did not wish to participate in the 'show' of Breeds. Their
main interests were not in the LOOKS of the dog but what a dog could do, how he preformed his job. So they began registering
dogs that would be judged on their ability to do the job they were bred for. Thus the
United Kennel Club was born.
Since then many other clubs have
surfaced that would cater to individual Breed clubs who felt that the other Registration Organizations really didn't do their
breed justice.
Who thinks up these organizations?
Entrepreneurs who can see making MILLIONS of dollars registering MILLIONS of dogs... What the heck good are they?
Can anyone give me any proof that a large registration organization is working for the individual breeds? NONE... Want
to know why no one can? Cause there is NONE... Just a bigger mess of things, Just like Big Government!
