If you think AKC will allow a parent club to disband and then restart all over again with a new by-laws guess again................... They will also step in if any club is guilty of not following their own by-laws.......I know this for a fact. They get involved when it comes to this. Those who have started and worked towards licensing new regional clubs know how the AKC operates and they are TOUGH on clubs........you cannot believe the hoops you have to go through and they can start you back from scratch at any time or revoke your licensing at any given time they choose. When my club was licensed i honestly can say we felt like we won a gold medal in the olympics.................wow what an acheivement!!!!!!
