Apparently, all you have to do to reg a dog with them is either have a pedigree from any other registry or have some vet agree with you on the breed and send them a check. You can also have a "licensed NKC breed inspector" look at the dog and register it if they agree with you on the breed.

They have a Bible quote on the end of the registration form page. Not professional.

So, no, I would say they aren't reputable.

In this area people who purchase English Bulldogs from breeders that sell on a limited registration with the AKC, etc. register their EBs with NKC and sell them.

Why is this not professional?

Also, those are the same registration requirements the ADBA uses, save for the fact that they do not require an inspection, only photos.

Many people aren't religious or of a different religion and could easily find that offensive. Its generally accepted that religion is a personal thing and should be left out of business dealings unless you happen to be the owner of a religious based premesis or work for a religious institution. Dog registries don't fall into that category. Could you imagine the fits people would throw if the AKC or UKC tried putting a Bible quote on their registration papers?

I won't go into a long story, but I am also not a fan of the ADBA or APRI and don't consider a papered dog registered with them any better than any dog from a shelter that also looks like it could be whatever breed the shelter is claiming. A lot of that has to do with breeders/purchasers lying through their teeth to register and breed mutts that look purebred to be able to sell the pups for more $ or people using those registries to legitimize "designer breed" dogs like Yorkiepoos and Puggles.

If I wanted a registered dog and to pay registered dog prices I would go AKC or UKC or to a specific breed registry like the one for the Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog (if I were looking for something a bit more rare).

Isn't that the same thing that the CKC does? (Continental not Canadian) The CKC is known to have humans and stuffed animals with registration papers from them.

MMJean: Yes, people might not be religious & yes, people might find that offensive. But that sure as heck doesn't stop any one who holds those views from accepting any money that has "In God We Trust" printed on it, now does it?

The fact is this primarily Christian nation was founded by Christian men on Christian principals (I know some disbelieve this fact, but it's true). If someone is not Christian, not even religious or finds it offensive, they have the right to hold those views. But they do NOT have the right to stifle the beliefs of those who are Christian, or are religious or who or not find it offensive.

The owners of the NKC are Christian men/women who are only following Jesus' command to "go and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19). I think it's great they aren't bending to the politically correct whims of a few. After all "We must obey God rather than men!" (Acts 5:29)

And the Bible quote is NOT on their registration papers, only the application. What you get back will likely not have it.

If you want to talk more about this feel free to PM me, as I don't want to hi-jack the thread any further!

SouthernThistle: "The CKC is known to have humans and stuffed animals with registration papers from them." And how does that have any bearing whatsoever? Heck, we ALL know about the bandogges registered as pit bulls in the ADBA & the English Bulldog mixes registered as pit bulls in the UKC. Heck, the AKC has a CAT registered with them & not as a feline either!

The bottom line is ALL registries operate on the honesty of their applicants. paper hanging or lying on an application is easy as pie & you can register a zonky with any canine registry out there to include AKC, UKC ADBA & yes, CKC. Just about anything can be done if you're a unconscionable liar with money.

If you read my post......................

You stated that the NKC doesn't require inspections of the dogs - only photos. MY response was "isn't that what the CKC does?"

In other words, the CKC is NOT a reputable organization by any stretch of the imagination; therefore, if another organization uses the same "registration"/ "proof of purebred status" as the CKC, it falls under the same category of not being reputable.

Other organizations have a little bit higher standards when it comes to registering their animals. I have never heard of a cat being registered AKC (that means truly registered AKC....not any of the other programs they have out there that people mistake for true registration.)

Yes, people lie on applications. Yes, it happens in all organizations.

However, some organizations have a little more strict standards to try to prevent that from occurring.

In MY opinion on the NKC (since that's what this post was about) and based on what I have seen from people selling NKC dogs, no.....I wouldn't bother with the NKC.

Actually, if you'd have read MY post (post #4), I said it was the ADBA who only required photos. NKC actually has stricter single registration rules than ADBA since NKC requires photos AND an inspection of the dog, whereas ADBA & CKC only require photos.
