World Wide Kennel Club

World Wide Kennel Club

World Wide Kennel Club is an organization dedicated to supporting dog breeds and their owners. Originally formed in Europe in 1961, relocating to the United States and becoming incorporated as the World Wide Kennel Club, Ltd. in 1984. There are currently no statistics on numbers of dogs registered.

They have full and limited registration similar to the American Kennel Club where if limited registered a dog's litters won't be registered without the limited registration first being lifted.

However they do not advocate any health screenings or tests, hold only a few shows through other clubs and do not maintain any breed standards. They also do not have a list of accepted breeds, instead stating they will register all accepted breeds from any other registry (including 'new' and 'rare' breeds) without verification of pedigree.

This is why the WWKC is often considered one of the "paper mills for puppy mills".
