Never heard of the "Universal" Kennel Club, although there is a United Kennel Club.
In America, the American Kennel Club is the gold standard for dog registrations and record maintenance. It's not a perfect system, but it's the best in the U.S. I would only buy a purebred dog with A.K.C. papers, unless it is a rare breed that the AKC doesn't recognize.

The American Kennel Club is the most widely recognized club in the U.S. The Universal Kennel Club is a "junk" registry. Steer clear of that one!!

American Kennel Club registers purebred dogs...and will only allow registration for dogs that "breed true" for several generations...Jack Russell's were only recently allowed in (1996 I think), because there are two different body styles (Wishbone type...boxy) and the other type sorta looks like a weeny dog...short legs, long body...both types have similar faces...you could breed two of the same body style and get both body style in the same litter.
You will never see a Labradoodle in the AKC, nor any other "designer dogs".
UKC, CKC, and such have registrations for these dogs...ever pay $800.00 for a Cockapoo with papers?
Many breeders stopped registering their purebred dogs with AKC because AKC is so strict on the registrations...for a long time, you could not register a white schnauzer, the only ones that qualified were black, salt & pepper, silver, and phantom (black w/white points...NO brown allowed on body).
I will NEVER buy any other type registered dog.
Hope this answered your question!

They are two different dog registries. The AKC is the main dog registry in the United States. AKC registers pedigreed dogs, requires DNA tests on some dogs to make sure they are who the breeder says they are, puts on dog shows, inspects breeders, etc. The Universal Kennel Club only provides a peice of paper saying a dog is registered. It is considered a puppy mill registry, meaning puppy millers use them because they don't meet AKC's requirements.

the yank Kennel club is not any "extra suited" than the Continental Kennel club. human beings get this thought of their minds through fact AKC is plenty older and in simple terms diverse. human beings like to attack CKC without form of clever information or components (word no one above had any valid components)... i ask your self why? through fact those are rumors. permit me supply you a extra suited, extra balanced answer than a number of those... others who needless to say have not got any thought what they are speaking approximately. AKC is a CLOSED registry. this means that a dogs can basically be registered if its mothers and fathers have been registered. through fact all purebreds come from the comparable gene pool, there are a number of well being issues. additionally they basically settle for 177 breeds, which potential they are unique. So in case you prefer to reproduce, permit's say, an American bulldog, you're out of wonderful fortune with AKC. CKC is an OPEN registry. they are plenty extra inclusive. They comprehend over 450 breeds, alongside with blended dressmaker breeds. i won't be able to have faith human beings are asserting "mutts" should not be bred... So even nevertheless those are relatively needed breeds, they might desire to not be bred through fact there are already "mutts" accessible? it rather is a ludicrous fact. Breeders might desire to have the potential to have administration over the visual charm and temperament of blended breeds in simple terms like purebreds. Oh, and with the help of how, the "purebreds" that AKC registers... do you think of they have been around continuously? NOPE. All breeds are technically blended breeds. additionally, permit me in simple terms say that papers at the instant are not ALL approximately breeding and pedigrees. there are a number of different advantages to having registration on your dogs. evidence of possession and identity, discounted components and products to your dogs, academic components, etc. there's a reason it fairly is referred to as a club. And for the guy who's dogging (no pun meant) CKC for registering dogs without previous registration, they did this to furnish dogs vendors and breeders a wreck. Say you're a breeder and your place burns down. that would desire to be an particularly tragic time for you, yet in addition, the papers on your dogs are all destroyed. In yet another registry, you would be out of wonderful fortune without thank you to get certificates to your dogs. yet CKC knows issues like this. So particular, CKC registers dogs without previous registration. Do they not deserve it? feels like a team of AKC snobs to me who think of their way is the only way.
