Well,if you think AKC is bad,you should try dealing with CKC. I had a litter born in Canada at a friend's home last May...I have yet to receive my papers (I live in the U.S....the co-owner of my bitch lives in Canada) We have jumped through every hoop they have thrown at us(and there have been many) and now the latest (they called 2 days ago) is they are going to REJECT the papers unless my Canadian friend pays her 2005 dues to the kennel club by Monday (which she actually has done,but they are lost in the mail somewhere......but what has that got to do with anything???) Jean,who may never get this boy (a singleton litter) registered! ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2004.
