When my friend had two cockers: a solid and parti-colour, they mated 3 times and the KC registered all the pups from each litter.  I was told that they would register litters with a 12 month gap and never solid x parti-colour.  They never made any connections at all ....... no double checking 2 make sure that the bitch had been allowed that gap.

They also registered puppies from the same bitch at a Puppy Farm - details were sent to the KC but the dates between each litter wasn't possible, i.e. 5 months.  So all the paper work from the Puppy Farm was incorrect - Channel 4 did a report in the early 1990s.

That's why the BBC stopped televising crufts because the KC wouldn't intervene in the horrendously bad bred dogs,bull dogs with shorter and shorter snouts,dachshunds getting longer,sharpeis more wrinkly etc etc,they couldn't give a stuff

They will take £X for the registration of each pup though.  Puppies that they have never seen nor have they examined the dog or dam.

In answer to your query, to take money and promote Crufts?

There are more and more of these wolf dogs being bred.  A woman in our village has 2/3 ......... why  :-\ :'(.  Cute on the photos but I can't find out how much 'wolf' is allowed for people to own them in the UK.

I suppose you can question any breed,it comes down to just what people like in the end

Apparently all dogs are related to the wolf, some look more-so than others might.

Yap  :thankyou:.  I think that these are the closest in the genetic line .......... without having 'wolf' in the mix.
