Wait a minute, let's not jump on the CKC. Everyone who belongs to the CKC received a letter sometimes in 2005 giving full details of how to order your chips from them, etc. They will even supply you with the punch thing. It's the same as when we used to tattoo our dogs, they would give us the numbers for our litters. Every breeder knows about this, it's been out for 2 yrs. no reason to not know. If you are a member paid up in full, then you received a letter, find it and read it again. I have friends devoting themselves to the CKC and they do a tremendous job trying to simplify things for breeders. Plus they are always just a phone call away during working hours. This is the very first time since the letter came out that I hear someone complaining about such a simple thing.
You can't blame the CKC if you are out some money, it just really is not their fault if you didn't read the letter.
Please don't give our hard working members and club a bad name, they work hard and don't deserve to be put down this way.
