AKC Administrative Research Registration Service: BREEDERS BE AWARE! - Page 3

Hay-,

    I know you guys don't like the Administrative Research Registration Service, but I do.  Perhaps it needs more constraints on it, but I like it.  I was one of those unfortunate people who bought a dog honestly with the contract and everything and never got the papers, so for me, it's right.  The program works and it's a good thing.  I have the sire and dam information and the pedigree, I asked the breeder to do the right thing, they refused.  YES i can sue, I HAVE THE CONTRACT.  In order to sue, i have to file at the location of the breeder, not only that, the judgement may be to give my dog back.  I don't want to do that.  This makes it easier, and as you read the Chapter 3 section 6, the breeders priviledges could get revoked.  I think that's a good thing (they don't need priviledges - the liars).  So.......Administrative Research Registration Service works for me.  i know there's things that could go wrong, but for me, there's things that will be set right. 

   I know you should never get a dog without the papers, but I'm not stupid enough to leave without something in writing.  Because of that, i deserve to get what i paid for, when i left i was $1150 lighter.   I traveled a long way to pick the dog up, only to get there and they say "we don't have 'em".  First instinct, LEAVE without it.  BUT......i got it in writing, so "i can always sue".  The people that did me that way were slim/are slim.  They're a puppy mill.  They maybe clean, state licensed, but they crank those puppies out like no tomorrow (a puppy mill ain't always dirty), and they pull this scam left and right.  Completely dishonest.

    AKC should give me the dogs papers if they won't and save me several long distance trips, lost pay (though I can get that back), lost dog that i love so so very much when i sue these people.  Not to mention my Shar Pei is darn near perfection of the breed, and is truly worthy of breeding.

When I bought my GSD, I was given the blue form.  The puppy mill owner I bought from told me she wanted her kennel prefix on him, which was L MT, for Long Mountain.  So when I got the blue form, she'd already put the LMT in the first three blocks, and I just put in the name I wanted after that.  Interestingly, her writing was so poor that AKC got it wrong, and my dog's prefix was TNT:-)

I was wondering why a person would really care what name was on the registration?  Since the majority of GSDs have a call name, besides their registered name, then I don't get the big deal.  Why go to all the trouble of changing the dog's name?

And you're right about the AKC being a worthless organization.  It is all about the money, they don't give a rat about anything else.  I once considered starting a local GSD club, but when I got a look at what the AKC required for it, I decided against it.

Apparently has been for almost a year.

If I was breeding, I'd be dual registering litters with the UKC,
just to give owners the option.
