Thanks for the update. I expect to have multiple litters to register. Cost of everything keeps going up, not just AKC. Business have no choice but to pass the cost on to customers.
Unfortunately they have you by the you know what! In our part of the world if its not AKC its a grade dog. It's not a big deal unless you sell dogs and pups. Not saying it's right, just the way it is.
Prices of everything are going up. Not sure why we expect anything different from the AKC. Food, gasoline, lumber, stocks, etc etc etc. Even McDonalds slips in an increase when nobody is watching. Just watch what happens when those people in Washington raise the corporate tax rates - who do you think will pay for that? Price increases are an inevitable part of life.
Have a computer program for pedigrees, no need for akc to do what you can do yourself. That's another thing your going to see happen in many areas where cost are going up and people find their not helpless and tired of getting fleeced. If you want to trial akc then you are captive but with computers and record keeping, the cost should go down.
If you tattoo the ear and enter picture of the hound w/ the tattoo info into the program w/ the welping date and parents, you have your own record keeping.
Show folks are getting to heavy to carry any more. jmho
I did not send in the registration papers, I did it on line. Sending in was $37.00, on the computer for the basic was $33.00. Hope the mail gets me the pups papers, fingers crossed.
