I would like to know more about the situation that the Aussie's had. It sounds very
similar to ours. Will the Aussie "old club" allow breeding to an AKC only dog or
bitch, and under what circumstances? If so, has there been any decline of quality
seen since that occurred, any increase in the incidence of medical problems? I'm sure
the Aussie old club members had many of the same concerns we have, and it would be
helpful to know how it has affected that breed. Are the numbers of Aussie's
comparable to the number of Cavaliers?
I don't know the answers to these questions, but I would hazard a guess that
there has been no decline in the health or quality of Aussie's if they do allow
"cross-registry" breeding (or whatever we want to call it!)
Thanks for your input!

Subject: [CKCS-L] registries
I feel fortunate to be involved with the Australian Shepherd another unique breed
whose original registry chose not to become the AKC parent club. Fortunately, ASCA got
"over it" much sooner. I enjoy the opportunities that having two registries offers.
The venues are very different. If one chooses, there are more opportunities for more
titles. ASCA shows more often have breeder judges with the good and bad that entails.
(you want to see politics, go to an ASCA show with breeder judges judging a class full
of breeder judges!!!)
I live on the West Coast where the Aussie originated. I will only breed to dual
registered dogs. I support both registries. Personally, I think the idea of having two
registries is good. However, separating the breed into breeding populations can only
be detrimental. There are a lot of shows with high entries. Even before AKC, there
was no shortage of shows. I know that is very diff. with Cavaliers. I would not have
gotten a Cavalier had they not been an AKC breed. I balance my hobby of dogs with my
family, financially, time spent etc. I could not be involved in a breed that took so
much time and money to show. If I had a CKCS-USA registered dog I would show at shows
close to home. I have a Ravenrush dog, my choice, I would not trade for the world, but
that about says it.
Sincerely
Jan Rinker
