Re: [Chihuahuas] Re: breeders/rescuers - registries

[Sandi]

Yep! I've never looked at the Continental Kennel Club registry to mean 'anything' to me!!!  I've been brought up in the days that the dog is either AKC registered or it's not. There wasnt anything else. So now all the breeders switching to APRI - has me leary.  But maybe it's my lack of knowledge so is why I'm asking. I've been told to -it's the cost of AKC chasing breeders away.  I dont feel the fee's are out of line though.......??

They told me they used CKC or APRI because it's cheaper to register with them than it is to register with AKC. Kat This has been so interesting that I looked that up.  Here is the AKC litter registration fee: A litter fee is comprised of two parts: a processing fee of $25.00 plus a puppy fee of $2.00 per live puppy (multiply the total number of live puppies by $2.00).That is not a lot of money. Continental Kennel Club (ckc) is free it appears for puppies but look at this:     2.Dogs over 6 months of age which have no previous Registration history may be registered by providing 2 witness signatures attesting to the purebred status of the dog along with 3 photos (front,left and right) of the dog to confirm it is â��of proper breed typeâ�� as defined by our current CKC Registration Rules and Regulations.Canine Registration Applications are available in PDF format from our web site.
