AKC lowering registration numbers for full recognition from FSS?

The FSS policies seem pretty much like an open-stud book policy. Which.. I guess for breeds in foundation may be OK, but it's odd when it applies to ANY breed not yet recognized by the AKC but the FSS instead .. including very old breeds with hundreds of years of history.

Not so simple, and I am pretty sure other people have asked before. Neither AKC nor FCI recognize UKC. UKC is a private organization, whereas AKC is non-profit, I think it probably also has to do with protocal in judging and recognition, and of course politics. Here is the letter stating reciprocation between the registries (the KC in UK and CKC in Canada have almost identical letters).

Line 2 & 3 in the first page are of interest in this matter.

I've read that letter before, but rereading it is interesting.. point 3 says.

"No dog born in the USA, belonging to breeds recognised by the AKC, ill be registered by an FCI member registry unless the dog has been registered in the FCI-recognised registry in the United States. It is up to the FCI to decide about the registration of dogs born in the USA belonging to breeds not recognised by the AKC."

So even if the dogs remain not wholly recognised by the AKC, there is some way of FCI registration, right?

EDIT - Congrats on the placement Marcy!
