In any registration, it is only as good as the person behind it. The person that knows Dog A was Bred to Dog B. Realizes that statements of " with papers so in so money, without is so in so money ( less)" - they realize the papers belong to the dog- not for the person to sell...
However- the AKC allows DNA testings to become part of the registration= thus veryifying that is the dog that bred to the other dog.
I think the Canadian Club is pretty good too.
THe other CKC- is awful. YOu can have any dog, out of any mix- known or not, and they will "allow you" to pay them to send you a piece of paper- thats like me sitting at home with my own printer, that people could send in a picture of their whatever, and what the hey- I charge them 15 bucks ( making this up.. but you get the point) and send them back a piece of paper worth the price of a piece of paper (.001) of a cent.. The same CKC is also using the "designer breeds" ( the same breeds by the way you can get at any shelter in the US) giving them the same registrations worthless printed paper legitimacy of a breed by issuing such worthless piece of paper. Any "certificate of authenticy" is really only worth what is being authenticated.
Now I am not saying someones sweet little pug mix is a " worthless" dog. I am saying however that this other CKC registration is based off of making money- not trying to encourage the " pure bred dog". Our human society recently started putting pictures of the same breeds in their shelter and it says " PRICE- 55 DOLLARS FOR ADOPTION FEE" "Receive free one free vet visit and Endless dog kisses.."
