U.S. Club Confusion
UKC
My dog, Charlie McFarlie, was purchased at a pet shop. (A friend of my bought him for his daughter and couldn’t keep him.) The pet store papers indicated that his dam and sire were registered to the UKC. I don’t know if this meant the United Kennel Club or the “Universal” Kennel Club, as only the acronym is found on the paperwork. –I understand the “Universal” Kennel Club is a shill registry for the puppy mill business. The “Broker” listed on Charlie’s sales receipt was the Hunte Corporation.
AKC
I’ve seen a number of links / threads indicating that the American Kennel Club (AKC) supports large scale Breeders (the Hunte Corporation and others). How can they do this and still maintain that they “advance canine health and well-being”? And, why would I want to be associated and/or register a puppy with them since puppy mills are anathema to me?
American Cavalier King Charles Spaniel vs Cavalier King Charles spaniel Club- USA
The ACKCS indicates it is the Parent Club of the AKC. The CKCSC-USA says that it is the original CKCS club. Is one better than another and why? (For reasons noted above, the AKC affiliation may be a negative to me.)
These, I believe, are the main clubs. There are others.
So, how does one navigate this maze and make sense of it? Which clubs truly serve the best interests of our Cavaliers?
