    Well rang the IKC this morning .The kind lady on the phone while somewhat sympathetic towards my predicament informed me that it was out of there remit , that they just keep the details and breeding lines . I do have a little problem with their stance because not once did she ask for details of the breeds , however if I choose to get my vet to report same to them they will inform breeder .

    I guess what is really needed is an assured breeders scheme like the Kennel Club in the UK has. I don't know why the IKC hasn't done such a thing...possibly an internal politics issue? If something like that could be set up, it may make it easier for people to be directed to responsibly bred dogs, rather than simply reading IKC registration as some sort of seal of quality in itself.

    That scheme is not working very well in the UK at the moment & reputable breeders are leaving it.

    Shame about that...in principle it sounds like a step in the right direction.

    Yes a real shame. I can't link because I'm using my phone. There is a Facebook Group called 'Exhibitors Choice & Voice' There are lots of complaints on it about the scheme if anyone wants to look into it further.
