[QUOTE="ROB, post: 417945, member: 3467"] don't intend on hijacking the thread but i find it interesting how opinions can differ on providing quality to the purchaser. one breed in the U.S. has a system of requirements set up already. it is a system that has no fees attached to it - but allows premiums to be paid to the seller if certain criteria is met. although this system is not used for registration purposes, it is used to "help" the uneducated in making informed purchasing decisions. the main difference i see is that it also requires terminal testing instead of just live scoring in order to have a chance to qualify. if registry standards were modified to incorporate scoring as knersie eluded to - couldn't that in turn be used to gain premiums on sales? these standards wouldn't have to be mandated by the govt. - simply a volunteer system, if you wanted your animal scored - contact the association to make arrangements. costs incurred for scoring would be offset by the premiums received for superior animals.
