For each breed, it is a process of getting it established, fostering breeders in different parts of the country and introducing the breed to the public. To make learning about all the breeds easier, the AKC divides them into seven groups, based on their original function: Sporting the pointer, setter, retriever and spaniel breeds , Hound, Working, Terrier, Toy, Non-Sporting and Herding.
As you do your research, you can decide if an apartment-sized Toy breed or an active Sporting breed is a better fit for you. The AKC website, www. The Canadian Kennel Club , founded in and with headquarters in Toronto Etobicoke , Ontario, currently recognizes breeds and varieties of dogs.

Founded in and with headquarters in Kalamazoo, Michigan, t he United Kennel Club , is considered an international dog registry.
At AKC and CKC shows, you will see that many owners choose to have their dogs shown by experienced professional handlers who travel every weekend and do this for a living. By comparison, UKC events are intended to be family-oriented recreation for owners and so the use of professional handlers is prohibited at dog shows. The result is that UKC dog shows feel more casual and informal. The United Kennel Club emphasizes the total dog, and many more owners participate with the same dogs in multiple UKC events, from dog shows to weight pulls to herding and field work, than is typically seen at AKC and CKC competitions.

They only propagate pure breeds and ensure this is done properly by having constant DNA check-ups. This is one of the strict criteria followed by them for recognizing the new dog. They also keep a check on the cleanliness of the kennel and the DNA.
If they fall out of the required standards or do not reach up to it after registration, they can suspend the registration. The pricing plans are therefore different from that of CKC. Only the mother has to be a registered member of CKC whereas the father can have a certificate from any other CKC-recognized organizations. The organization does not follow a closed registry policy in their belief that doing otherwise contributes to the occurrence of genetic disorders among dog breeds. The organization is also known to register mixed breeds.
The CKC will accept new dogs into their registry if the applicant provides at least two witnesses verifying the authenticity of the breed. In addition, three pictures of the dog are required to check its pedigree. The CKC will reject eligibility of the dog if it is determined to be of the wrong breed type. The CKC charges registration fees for canines but does not charge for litter registration. Members have the option to place a picture of their dog on the registration papers.
The CKC has received negative attention in the past, particularly for deliberately causing confusion for carrying the same acronym as that of the prestigious Canadian Kennel Club. The main difference between them is that the American Kennel Club registers purebred dogs only if the parents of the dog are AKC-registered.
