Why AKC
Are AKC Registered puppies better puppies, are they cuter, are they more faithful companions, do they respond better or more quickly to training? Perhaps but not necessarly.
Liz loves to tell stories about her "Ole Pardner" (her childhood dog). Pardner was a purebred mut, but he loved to play with and entertain them as children. Personally, my memories of Pardner are not so fond. It was when I knocked on her door for our first date that he was hiding beneath an evergreen bush and without warning he jumped out and bite my leg with all of his viciousness he could muster. Considering he didn't have a single tooth left in his head.
It would be difficult for me to explain just how ignorant Liz and I were about different Kennel Clubs, when we first purchased our first pair of Bichon Frise Puppies. As a teenager, I had owned Registered Poland China Pigs, and Red Angus Cow and Calf pair, but neither of us had previously dealt with any Kennel Clubs.
We first bought a female and then a male, both of these were registered with Continental Club (CKC), and then we bought two more females, they were registered with AKC, then we also registered them with CKC so that we could register their puppies. As we did this, we discovered that AKC (American Kennel Club) is not only the most recognized, but they also set a higher standard for Registration. For example AKC requires a DNA Profile of any male that sires more than three litters in one year, the same is not so with CKC. While this is not a perfect situation, it does give some assurance of their liability of the Pedigree. Also AKC is the one that sponsors most of the dog shows and when you register a god with AKC and ask for their Pedigree, they will provide a three year generation Pedigree, with a "Ch" prefacing the name of all the dogs that have been declared "Champions", "GCH" are Grand Championships. This Pedigree will also give the DNA profile of the Sire.
Liz and I have decided to go all "AKC", this is adding considerable added expense to our little operation, but we feel there is much more value in an "AKC" Registration. We now have four "AKC" Registered Females, and one "AKC" Registered Stud. Our Stud has both "CH" and "GCH" in his Pedigree, also their are Championships to be found in our Females.
The prices we will be charging for our Puppies will possibly flucuate with the market trends as we strive to produce a quality product at a fair and competative price.
