*************************** I just answered my own question by looking at the UK website. No...there are no other requirements to becoming a member of the club over there than being proposed by 2 non related members, adhearing to their code of ethics and then being voted upon at a board meeting. Why does this always have to be one club against the other club discussion? Most people today dual register their dogs, so I can't believe that the gene pool is that small. This gives people 2 different venues in which to participate. Some people like the smaller, but closer AKC shows and others prefer to go away on a mini vacation every few months....it is nice to have a choice. Yes, in hindsight, perhaps things would have been better served if done differently...but that is the past and nothing can be done to change that now, we can only move forward. The CKCSC club is working on addressing the acceptance of AKC only dogs and that will be put to the membership soon and hopefully there will be some positive changes. Why is it not in the best interest of the breed to have choices?
