DLRC is nothing more than a glorified pedigree writing serivce. It was started by a well known puppy farmer/dealer in order to give validity to puppy farm dogs, to fool buyers that they were getting a 'registered' dog and so therefore charge the same prices as a kc registered dog. bIt is nothing like the KC, it does not keep the records that the KC does, nor does it support financially or otherwise, health tests and the research into health problems.
This is a prime example - note the consecutive numbers on the pedigree of the sire and dam of this litter. Consecutive numbers for KC registration occurs in littermates. The number given a KC registered pup is issued it's number for life... all information on health tests, awards etc are recorded against this one entry. DLRC just puts a number next to the dog's name.  (They used to show it on the sample pedigree on their website, but now have a blank sample..... I wonder why )
Anyone who registers their puppies with DLRC is supporting puppy farmers because it was started by and for puppy farmers.... |
Thanks for your post,totally agree especially with with the last highlighted part.
Also to add there is no conformation from the studs owners confirming a mating has taken place,unlike the KC where forms have to be signed by both owners.
There is also nothing on the forms asking for a LA number if the breeder is licensed the KC ask for this.
So apart from printing off fancy pedigrees,having a code of ethics which is unenforceable and conning the unsuspecting people out there,what do they actually do ?
