They register mixed breeds? What is the purpose? To track genealogy?
So your dog can compete and get titles —not Conformation —Performance.
It’s a way to include mixed breed dog/owners in organized dog activities and get their money.
The UKC has had a Limited Priviledge Program for some time. They are the National Club that offers hunting titles. A lot of the “southern huntin’ dogs” were /are of breeds not recognized by the AKC, or were of unknown parentage, but still great hunters!
I like the classes and trials because I end up with a well mannered and healthy dog when I participate. I also have made good friends!
Mixed-breed dogs must be spayed or neutered to be eligible.
I guess we can be prejudiced with our dogs.
