Do You Know Who Is Responsible For Your Breed's Standard?

Question

And it's not the AKC...while they approve any changes made, it's NOT the AKC that writes the breed standards.

So, What entity/group preserves and is responsible for YOUR breed's standard?

In Rottweilers, it's The American Rottweiler Club, as it is the parent club here in the U.S.

Every recognized breed in the AKC has a Parent Club...they are the group charged with writing/changing and preserving the breed standard..and presenting forth a "Code of Ethics" by which reputable breeders SHOULD abide.

Great Dane Lover:
Actually, yes, any change to the standard must be presented in writing to the AKC before being voted on by the parent club...
AKC has recommendations on how to "word" the standards, and how often the parent clubs can make changes...
We just went thru this last year with the Rottie standard.

Answer 2

no person has suggested the cost of those blended breed canines. I observed expenses that distinctive from $800.00 to $2,000.00 and a breeding inventory male for &15,000.00. I"m sorry, yet they don't look to be a acknowledged "breed" and until eventually they're, this is not ethical to sell a blend breed for that style of money. Plus in the event that they're going to have a "breed customary" do you think of somebody ought to probable arise with a customary cut back. i'm getting greater lawsuits approximately grooming Labradoodles than the different breed that are groomed. Come on human beings, pleeezee tell the damaging groomers what are we assume to do with the this hair. a million in 20 "would" seem something like a poodle, yet for the main section they don't even seem solid in a domestic dog cut back. each and every person else had some great valid factors.

Answer 6

Myself as a breeder, is responsible for standard I believe. I don't know about any groups other than http://www.pembrokecorgi.org which is the Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club of America but I'm the one responsible for not breeding less than standard dogs that perform their jobs like they were bred to do. It's MY job to not breed whitelies, and bluies, and dogs that are not up to their breed standard. I don't breed for mini's or teacups or anything less than what the Pembroke Welsh Corgi is supposed to be, a hard working herding dog, raised for great family pets or for working ranches, because there's endless ranches where I live, and they ranchers LOVE the assistance that the Welsh Corgis offer in herding animals. No one group/entity can control the breed standard, it's up to responsible breeders to make sure they are following in line with what the standard should be to provide the best dogs of the breed for what they were meant to do.

Answer 7

People like breeders, breed specific analyzers that work in through the AKC but they can not become a breed standard until the AKC approves. And the AKC is not the only canine registry, its the most legit and what not. the AKC was established to advance purebred dogs. they maintain a registry of recognized breeds, adopts and enforces rules in dog shows, obedience trials, field trials, ad fosters interest in the health and welfare of purbreds.....
