In 1975, jaw and teeth of dog found in a cave in Iraq established that
domesticated dog's relationship with man goes back to 14000 years. It
is said that dog is man's best friend and it is also true that as the first
domestic animal, the dog is man's oldest friend. Dogs have served us in
many ways. They have guarded our homes and property, they have
been our comrades in winning wars, with police they have helped to
keep law and order, they have helped in the rescue operations and have
saved many lives. During long history of man, one sees that man always
kept dogs. Pure-bred dogs have been kept under very challenging
conditions. In the face of threats, religious and social taboos, restrictive
laws, war, famine conditions and so on, man has managed to keep
pure-bred dogs. If man takes so many pains to keep a dog, there must
be a reason for it. In fact there are many reasons, which all blend
together and form a fabric of mystical man-dog relationship. To keep
this fabric intact, it is important that pure-bred dogs are bred in a
scientific manner for which it is important to track dogs and their
offspring, in fact it is necessary to track the entire family history of the
dog. This in mind, over the years, many countries formed their kennel
clubs, England being the first country to form its kennel club in 1873.
The Kennel Club of Pakistan was formed in 1947 and soon the Kennel
Club (England) gave it affiliation. A few years ago, the American
Kennel Club, recognizing the status of KCP, made a reciprocal
agreement with the Kennel Club of Pakistan. In 2006, the prestigious
Asia Kennel Union, gave Kennel Club of Pakistan membership. All
these prestigious organizations give membership to only one kennel club
from each country, which, according to their evaluation, best serves the
canine interest in the country. The Kennel Club of Pakistan, not only
registers and tracks dogs and their offspring, but also offer events that
are used to test if a dog is a suitable specimen of its breed. We fell that
being able to track the pedigree of a purebred dog is important because
responsible breeders are always seeking to better their breed. By
examining pedigrees of the registered dog and looking at the
accomplishments of the dogs, like dog shows and breed surveys,
breeders can make good decisions about breeding their dogs.

The two main functions of the Kennel Club of Pakistan are to register
pure-bred dogs and to act as governing body for the sport of pure-bred
dogs. Its other responsibility is educational-communications. The
Kennel Club of Pakistan provides services to anyone interested in dogs,
whether they are would-be owners trying to decide on the best breed
to get or advanced breeder trying to breed better dogs. To keep up
with modern day requirements, our all records have been
|
computerized. Pedigrees, registration certificates, prefix registration,
championship certificates,
|
membership cards etc., all are issued in computerized form and are
easily traceable at any time.
