AKC & KUVASZ STUD BOOK FRAUD
Existing
Pedigree Fraud and
Stud Book corruption made even worse by the American
Kennel Club according the Kuvasz Case
by breeder, Darla Lofranco. (link to Bulldog, Mastiff, Samoyed
pedigree frauds at end of page)
You may not be
interested in Kuvasz but you need to know how the AKC Stud Book, the
bible of purebred dogs, is so easily and frequently wrong! One
of North America’s top Kuvasz breeders says AKC’s most recent action
affects the show ring as well as Kuvasz pedigrees in two countries.
Her letter to the AKC attorney states:
 “Lofranco
TNT Trevor Nordland CKC UN653359 and Lofranco's Tank-You Nordland
CKC UN641655 are littermates bred by Frank and Darla Lofranco in
Canada. Trevor was ineligible for AKC registration as an import
based on his CKC certificate UN653359 showing an address (Halton
Hills, Ont) in Canada. When I pointed this out, AKC agreed there
were no CKC export papers to support their records and therefore
cancelled Trevor's illegal foreign registration in November 2005.
But incredibly, AKC faxed a copy of the current records for WG195801
dated November 9, 2005 confirming that the dog imported by Karen and
Henry Nichols of Nichols, WA was instead, the littermate Lofranco's
Tank-You Nordland. I was not listed as the owner on AKC records
dated November 9, 2005.
“In March I
received a letter alleging that I had requested a name change from
“Trevor” to “Tank” in November 2005 (which AKC granted) but the
action was reversed. AKC said Tank's name was now changed to Trevor
WG195801. I NEVER requested a name change in November 2005 or at
any other time. Remember - I wasn't even listed as the owner of the
dog in November 2005! And I could not request AKC to change the
name of any dog born in Canada. AKC only has jurisdiction over a
dog born in the USA. In addition, any name change MUST be in
writing according to AKC rules. I am now listed as the owner of
Trevor WG195801.
“As far as the
Insurance claim I mentioned below, the Kuvasz Club of America Inc.
and the AKC would not be covered if a dog caused harm to someone at
a show if it was proven by the plaintiff that the dog should not
have been there in the first place because it was illegally entered
and illegally registered by the American Kennel Club. I think this
could be a big problem for a lot of Clubs including the Kuvasz Club
of America, Inc. AKC should give this more thought.
"Exhibitors are
spending thousands of dollars each year showing against illegally
registered Kuvasz entered at AKC events including Multi Best in
Show, BISS Champion Szumeria's Wildwood Silver Six Pence
WS271850/01. Tanner is a Multi Best In Show winner in the USA and
will probably be at Westminster 2010.
“Another, illegally
registered Kuvasz Best in Show Ch. Szumeria's Wildwood Penny From
Heaven placed in the group at Westminster in 2007. Many kennels in
the USA (and now Europe) have alleged descendants of Trevor/Tank
WG195801 including Casablanca, Double Ring, Elso, Galaxy,Glacier
Creek, Mattiaci, Nordland, Pandemont, Rebel Ridge,Shamont, Sweet
Harvest, Szep Tars, Szumeria,Tepes Ridge, Wildwood, Tres Sage, Windridge
and Yanilan.
Just think of all
the money people are spending and handlers are losing to show
against these dogs when they shouldn't even be in the ring! This
would never happen in any other sport and should not be allowed at
AKC events".

AKC WG195801
Ms. Heather McManus
- AKC Senior Attorney
CKC certificate of
registration UN653359 confirms Lofranco TNT Trevor Nordland was
ineligible for registration on foreign application WG195801 in
accordance with the rules at the time. AKC must have a CKC export certificate
showing an address in the USA to support Foreign Import application
WG195801.
AKC alleges the
address (Halton Hills, Ont) on CKC certificate UN653359 is within
the USA which is incorrect. The address is Halton Hill, Ont.
CANADA and not Halton Hills, Ont. USA. The application should
have been rejected at the time for several reasons.
AKC records dated
November 9, 2005 confirms the littermate Lofranco's Tank-You
Nordland was imported by Karen and Henry Nichols. Finally, after
several requests, AKC cancelled Trevor's illegal registration in
November 2005 and then re-instated the dog as per letter dated March
3, 2006.
The AKC letter
dated March 3, 2006 alleging Trevor and Tank were the same dog is
absurd. The same ridiculous letter was published by the Kuvasz Club
of America, Inc. The identity and pedigree is also questioned based
on two different littermates (Trevor/Tank) listed as the sire of
Nordland's Rocky on AKC certified pedigrees.
Exhibitors are
spending thousands of dollars each year showing against illegally
registered dogs entered at AKC events including Szumeria's Wildwood
Silver Six Pence WS271850/01 who is an alleged descendant of
WG195801. This would never happen in any other sport and should not
be allowed at AKC events.
AKC and the Kuvasz Club
of America, Inc. could also be liable should an Insurance claim be
filed at an AKC event especially when the breeder/owner has provided
both Clubs with a copy of AKC records confirming the dog was
ineligible for registration in accordance with the rules at the
time.
The breeder/owner
is requesting AKC uphold the decision to cancel
Trevor's registration in November 2005.
Please give this
serious matter your immediate attention and advise accordingly.
Respectfully
Submitted,
Darla Lofranco
Breeder/Canadian Owner WG195801
