Isn't the FCI pretty much the controlling body of
at least 35 International
kennel clubs? I believe Japan (JKC) and parts of Europe
follow FCI rules?
I remember reading about an Akita breeder who falsely registered a
litter under a different pure bred sire.
(their were two separate pure bred litters at the time).
This person was banned from
AKC. I used to read about Akita breeders being banned
for a time on the quartarly ACA reports
for varies reasons.
Believe it or not the AKC does try to police and try
to keep accurate records.
I would think the official breed clubs have a lot of impute also
on how things are done.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if DNA became the norm.
P.S. I wanted to add, I am not keen on AKC for different reason's.
I think AKC needs to do a lot more than be a record keeping and
information business for pure-bred dogs.
Even thought the Breed clubs along with AKC do some
wonderfull things such as donating money to Vet hospitals for research they need to do more IMHO.
THey need to police and start requirering healthy tests (DNA)
on sire and dams before a dogs litter can be registered.
Might help elimanate some of puppy mills if they have to
make sure their stock passes certain health tests to bred.
It might not be the answer but maybe a start.
