I need to think more about this but wanted to point out one thing....
Mulrooney you mentioned the AKC and memberships.....
well the akc doesn't have membership..... the akc is nothing more than a registering body...... thats it...... they don't determine quality or good or bad breeding.... all they do is register dogs .... period.... there are no members.... you don't join .... and perhaps that is the issue in and of itself.....
the AKC is a registering body and nothing more.....
I am not sure that I want the AKC to get involved in quality..... I have a friend who is making some breeding decisions that I don't agree with.... in my mind its not a good breeding... is she responsible yes.... are her dogs purebred... yes.... but she is making choices that I wouldn't make.... so how can we determine what is good and bad breeding.....
You can join the CKC (can. kennel club) and become a member..... the same as you can become a member of a local breed club.....
my other concern in just my thinking at this moment is .... how does this solve the problem...... ???? and who pays for it??? because right now I spend enough money on dog stuff.... the fees for registering a kennel name just went up by $75 and shows are $25 and puppy registrations are oh I dont remember .... and litter registrations are whatever they cost..... and I am just wondering who is going to pay for this new system..... and then how will it really change anything....
that having been said I need to think about this more.....
