Updates

The club filed our paperwork with AKC a month ago and we are awaiting word back after their reviews. Given the fact that Maribeth at AKC told us names are sometimes even changed at the FSS stage (AKC dept where breeds await full recognition) we decided to vote on the name just ONCE in light of the fact we are working off donations financially and doing multiple mailings for the name (should AKC not accept the one we choose first) could get costly/timely. Since all of us are busy or we are not doing our job as breeders we here at the Club only have time to vote once so IF AKC approves our breed they will likewise let us know which of our many names they would NOT approve so then we can vote on the group they could live with. That way we would not take a chance on voting on a name only to have AKC shoot it down. We have quite a few possibilities and AKC could let us know which IF ANY they would not approve and that name will be left out of the voting process. Originally we had planned on having the name decided on by now BUT we switched gears and went to AKC first as they do not care (per Maribeth) about the name at this point. I saw no reason to ask those paying for this to pay TWICE for mailings so we will do this ONCE after AKC reviews all the name possibilities.

We are on hold until AKC reviews our application and tells us which names they will approve. The application has been filed. If AKC approves our application then they will review the possible breed names and then let us know which of the suggested breed names AKC could live with. We will then only vote on THOSE names. To hold a vote prior to AKC reviewing the name possibilities could mean we get to do this exercise all over again for which no one has time for duplicated work. Our original plan was to vote on the name and then go file with AKC but we flipped that process around to speed the process on up.

Website going through several changes as members come on broad and we begin to work together united to bring our breed to AKC with the breeds best interest at heart without political agendas.

The registry has new staff and opening with a limited time Free Membership and Dog Registration

We had originally planned out going with an outside registry but officials at AKC and UKC suggested we set up our own stud books in-house to make sure records are handed over to them in quick fashion. Some of the outside registries can be reluctant and slow about doing so per several very knowledgeable people recently informed us. So, we are in the process of setting this up now. We will take your name as a free member and privately email you when the program is up and running.
Those folks who want to be a silent member until the heat cools down from those opposing breed recognition need to simply let us know that. Your name will be protected and only one person with our registry even knows who the silent members are. The President herself has not asked and says she has no reason to know. She only keeps a count of them going.
