You are welcome.

 

The info I provided isn't just from limited research or experience, it is from years. It started back when I was just a kid (wow was taht a looooong time ago, lol) my grandfather & great grandfather were very well versed in breeding in horses, GSD, Collies & Shelties. They were stcklers on good solid sound conformation, temperaments and workability. Their teaching spilled over to me...then I started taking my own interest as I got older, into my teens and learned even more..my next step was when I bred Dobermans with a friend of mine back when Dobermans had the reputation that Pit Bulls now have...we researched pedigrees until we were blue, we stuided temperaments, we studied health, genetics, etc..then of course I went to school to be a vet tech (I wanted to be a vet so stuided everything I could get my hands on)Breeding has always been an interest of mine from all aspects..so I've done several classes on Canine breeding & reproduction, I've talked at length with breeders and even spoken to show judges. As a tech I see many dogs (and cats) bred by irresponsible people and I see all too often the results I also see the results of well bred dogs (and cats).. the two simply can't be compared. I learn more & more as I go..it is ongoing, it is interesting and it is amazing the breeding that people do and the reasons behind some of it.

 

The bogus registry influx has really abounded in the past few years especially with so many irresponsible breeders cropping up, the advent of the designer dog craze and the increase in suspensions from AKC. These types of registires are nothing more then a sales gimic, a con to make people believe they have a registered dog when the fact is they do not.Often times the dog is not even a purebred despite the buyer being told otherwise. These registries are a big boon to those prople who buy a dog on limited registration & spay/neuter contracts only to decide they want to breed anyway so they "register" them with one of these fly by night registries and happily begin breeding and selling "registered" puppies.

 

There is a lot of not so nice things that happen in the world of breeding by some of these so called "breeders"..all to often the new owners suffer heartbreak and financial loss, but ultimately it is the dogs/puppies that pay the price.
