Why we will not be associated with AKC anymore.

Why as a trainer…I am not supporting or associating with AKC anymore.

For years I have paid to be an AKC evaluator for Canine Good Citizen, Trick evaluator and more.

I paid my license renewal for years. Two of my dogs are AKC registered.

And you know what I got from AKC for being a loyal register evaluator for 8 years? Not a damb thing.

And now, owning three sport mixes, I’m told that to register them and compete for AKC titles, they have to be neutered or they can’t be registered at all. Yes I aware of PALS. Dont care because that requires them to be altered.

That’s bullshit. My “mutts” are better bred, healthier and perform better than some of these shit bred BYB "pure breds" they allow to register as purebred and compete intact. Wrong colored dogs, wrong coated dogs….hell, the dog could have 10,000 genetic defects and 1/2 a face and still register as a purebred and not be required to be altered. What the f!?!

Explain to me how a BYB can purposely breed outside of the breed standard for specific colors and coat types, and then register them with AKC under false pretenses and that’s OK! Silver labs are registered under chocolate by the breeder. Because if they’re honest about the color of the dog, AKC will not let them register. So the AKC would rather allow liars and BYB who breed purposely off standard dogs to register without limitations than to allow an ethical and purposeful bred sport mix to register to compete intact. If I want AKC titles with my mix….I’m required to alter my dog medically and affect his health, but a BYBred dog gets to stay intact?

I won’t be offering any AKC services once my license expires. I will offer a public access test under my own name with my certificates. I will teach that course under my own criteria.

AKC offers me nothing that I can’t do on my own.
