This is why papers are hard to trust

well like was said earlier the english covered the English , bluetick and walker in the beginning and as such you can take those two [ bluetick and walker ] and get them back into the English registry . but you can't take a black and tan and do it ect. ect. . it is up to the breed asscn's as to what dogs are able to do it not the ukc . as of jan first the ukc is starting a crossbred registry that will allow crossbred HOUNDS to compete against the registered dogs in all but the bench shows . and I think that will be a good thing in helping to keep the paper hangers down . instead of fixing papers they can just register them as crossbreds and still compete for trophy's .
