AKC lowering registration numbers for full recognition from FSS?

I wrote to the breeder in Quebec, and he said he gave up on the CKC and is hoping to register the litter [finally] with the 'Canine Federation of Canada' [CFC] which so far only has five breeds on its list, though he said they are adding 17 more this year, CsV included. It is not affiliated with the CKC or the FCI though and I have no idea if the AKC will accept it as a worthy foreign registry....

UKC is irrelevant if Canada recognizes it or not, that's only the CKC. If they're not registered with the UKC then you might have a hard time registerig them with the AKC.

[I hope the AKC gets it's paperwork/spellcheck right before making the CsV an official registrable breed.]

I don't think vlcak is in any English speaking spell checker, maybe they need to add it to theirs! But, it's just on that page. On the breed list it is spelled correctly, vlcak.

Marcy - is breeding wolf hybrids illegal? (I didn't know that - or why else would have have called the police on you?). Since the officer was impressed with the breed maybe they have a future of being a small part of the police canine community - Luna sure has the temperament right now for it!

As for the hero story - don't forget Luna is going to be a service dog for Sara, she's already being conditioned for this. While it's no Lassie saving Timmy from a burning building (wait, wasn't that Lad and Wolf actually?) it's a start. Just look at the positive press Sara and Zorro got for Westminster / him being her own service dog.

As for the blog, I've started on on my site and I'll try to keep it running but I always have projects going on with the web front (I just recently bought some "year" domains and I plan on putting up some historical sites, plus over a dozen dog breed domains), but I'll try to keep vlcak to the top of the list. The CMS (Joomla) is getting easier to use.

Marcy - do you own the domain for the CsVCA club (czechoslovakianvlcak.org)? The WhoIs is private but your name is listed (but that doesn't mean anything).

OK. I just shot him an email to let him know that you did receive his email just hasn't been able to respond yet (bust with home, work, puppies, etc..). Next time he is down here I'll be sure to introduce him to Luna (but as far as I know there are no plans for a Sieger show anytime soon).
