What is the difference between a dog breed registry and a purebred dog breed club?
Registries keep records about purebred dogs, such as the breed, color, name, gender, pedigree and owner’s information. Registries will track this information with a registration number that is unique to each dog. They record the births of puppies and who they are descended from and related to. Registries normally also maintain records regarding any titles earned by the dogs registered with them. Breed Clubs are clubs that are formed to promote a particular breed of dog. To ensure club members only breed dogs with suitable genetics, many breed clubs have Codes of Ethics that includes restrictions from breeding dogs of that breed with genetic defects and life threatening health problems that commonly threaten the breed.
