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

[Elizabeth Mann]

The AKC maintains a "Stud book" that keeps a record of the
parents etc. of all dogs 150 breeds registered. The AKC was started 1884.
The Chihuahua was first recognized in 1904.  We had a dog register
in England with the Kennel Club and could not transfer his registration
to the AKC because he didn't have a good 3 generation pedigree. 
Here is a link for the AKC history

It is my understanding that the UKC and the AKC as well as the Canadian
Kennely club, are all equally legit...they are the official registry for
their respective countries.
