Not sure about CKC but in the AKC it doesnt take much to kidnap a breed. The bulk ( 75 percent) of Cavalier breeders didnt want recognition, and basically was taken by the drive of a handful of people. The sad thing about it is that breed clubs it only takes a few members that also have dog records of breeding registration to be accepted.
