I agree Letty, breeding is something very serious to me, i personally don#t even have a bitch atm, but took the courses and expend my views and knowledge where i can so that i am as prepared as i can be if i ever get my bitch. And probably even than, attending births by other breeders, paperknowledge is far from the same as the real stuff
But in holland , getting a kennelname does not require the KK1 course finished or many other requirements.
the regulations first become stricter as mentioned above, 4 litters or more of 20 puppies or more.
To me the dutch kennelclub is nothing more than an pedigree issueing instituation, much depends on the integrity of the breeder himself and rules and regulations are very lush!
