I am composing an article for my website about the kennel club. So i am searching for the right words to describe what they do for dogs and why they are important to purebred canines. The questions being.

What is the Kennel Club? Something along the lines of governing body overseeing purebred dogs and the breeding/working/showing of, writing breed standards, health guidelines and compliation of pedigrees

Why is being Kennel Club registered so important? This is aimed at GP who i imagine would ask this question as we have recently be shown that its thought KC ''isnt the be all and end all'' so maybe some positives of why you should buy a kc reg pup over a non reg pup. Your guarenteed a purebred pup (aslong as no fiddling has been done). eg two puppies one registered one isnt why they should go for the registered one even if it means spending a little extra.

PLEASE no debates or newbie with silly comments. this is more for an achidemic means.

Also many more of your questions answerd on the KC site :)

Thankyou was looking for something like that, guess not hard enough.

It's under the "about KC"

Also alot of information under "buying a puppy" :)

Why not include links to web sites run by the KC? There is their main one and they also run others on canine health etc and if you are mentioning health testing why not link to the BVA site which has the canine health schemes on there?
