best base for dog kennel image
fairly odd
Bought a dog recently and it is registered with the ACA club . I've heard of the AKC but not the ACA . I don't plan on breeding my Westie . Should I bother paying the registration for my dog ? What are the benefits ? Any ?
Answer
The AKC is the American Kennel Club. It has tracked the registrations of dogs in the USA for a very long time. Having a dog registered with the AKC does not mean anything as far as health or temperment, just whether the dog is bred from two dogs of the same breed. There is also a slight chance that a dishonest breeder could fake these records. The AKC though is very concerned about that and has doubled and tripled it's checks making sure that breeders stay honest about whether they are breeding purebred dogs to each other and exactly who the sire and dam are of the puppies are.
As soon as the AKC started these major checks to determine that people are being honest about who they are breeding, including DNA tests on multi-used sires, many of the dishonest or large facility/careless breeders found that litters of theirs were being rejected by the AKC as not bred by the dogs they said they were bred by.....so the ACA, ConKC, and many other easy registries were born. These registries are based on the idea that their breeders don't lie, that all dogs they say are purebred are, no proof necessary. If someone says their litter of puppies are beagles, they register them as beagle, even if they're 100 lbs or covered in bushels of fur.
The AKC is not a guarantee of anything, but that the puppies are the right breed to the best of their knowledge and they try very very hard to make sure of it.
The ACA means even less. In fact it means nothing at all.

Answer
The major diference between "show"bloodlines and non show bloodlines is the quality of the entire bloodline, which leads to quality in the individual.
Show breeders, or at least 99% of them, only breed the best to the best that they can possibly find to breed. That means basing breeding decisions on such things as health, temperament, and conformation to the standard of the breed. There are almost always pet quality puppies in every "show" litter. These are the pups that maybe have a small mismark, or might have a little too wide a head, or whatever, that keeps them from the show ring. These puppies make great pets. They are almost always crate, leash and potty trained by the time they are old enough to "grade". We "grade" a litter at around 8 wks, and 10-12 weeks.
A non show bloodline has been bred for money, or "because we heard they need to have a litter", or because "he/she is so sweet", or to teach the kids about the birds and bees. No careful, and expensive health testing, no expensive stud fees, ultrasounds or screening of prospective homes.
Non show breeders rarely do rescue or take back the dogs they breed,
Show breeders are known for their work in rescue and for taking back any dog they are responsible for.
Dogs that are from show lines are almost NEVER found in shelters, the non show bloodlines are almost always the purebreds you find in shelters.
Showing dogs is a very expensive, time consuming, life altering hobby.
If you are interested in showing your dog google Kennel clubs in India,
I know there are shows there, find one in your area and go meet some people with your breed and have them help you evaluat your dog.
I'm sure you have a great dog! But, there is a LOT to making a succesful show dog, one of which is money, a well bred dog, and practice and training.
