what can be done about 'misinterpretation in the uk

There will always be those who claim to have something they don't, sadly there is no way to stop this.

What may help is, educating the public about the breed and the crosses and what they should be looking for.

We will fight this battle someday here...when people realize more that our breed exists. It's something malamute owners have been dealing with for a long time - when wolf cross owners want to avoid detection from breed specific legislation, home owners insurance, or if the wolf cross is involved in some sort of legal trouble. I think it is only sometime until the owner of a wolfcross (or other mixed-breed with some similarity) claims it to be a Vlcak here...hopefully not in the case of the dog biting someone or attacking another dog. And of course we have Tamaskans etc. here, but so far (other than Aatu people trying to use our males for studs

) we have had no problems with any of the Tamaskan factions trying to claim they are pure Vlcaks or vice versa. But no, I don't guess there is any way to stop other people from making false claims.

You can only protect yourself as best you can...build a good public image with the breed, get them involved where they are seen in a happy way - dog sport, therapy work, etc. I am adament about making sure there are no questions about what or how my dogs or their offspring are, especially for breed "outsiders"...in any way I can - AKC pedigree, DNA profile, importing dogs from reputable breeders, training in many different things, making sure my dog is always under control and social if it is out in public.

Isnt scruffts part of the discover dogs show in november? Or am I getting things confused?

If so, how does it work. Are only kc reg breeds allowed stalls/stans or can non kc reg breeds/mixes have them too?

Would be a great future opportunity for education if there is a way to get the csv in there.

I think Non-KC breeds can have stands - as long as there is some recognition. It might be that the dogs have to be on the import register though or have registration docs from the relevant organisation....

However - I will drop an email to the KC.....
