IMO now, AKC papers are as reliable as APRI (well, at least with AKC we know it's a dog).

We should push for UKC and maybe even get a better presence with UKC here in the US. I know UKC isn't perfect but they're the lesser of the evils out there. Maybe we could even have shows similar to Sieger style shows with GSDs.

I like the UKC - not perfect, as you say.. but I like that it seems to be less of a popularity contest in recognizing breeds and the multitude of working titles available.

Does UKC recognition alone not count for anything? Last I checked, most people didn't know the difference between the AKC or the Continental KC..
