AKC Registration Issues
& Disputes
The AKC May Not Have Your Best Interests In Mind, But We Do
Those who own, breed and handle purebred show animals in Miami Beach or elsewhere in Florida or the world count on the American Kennel Club (AKC) to maintain an accurate registry and ensure that the animals listed within this registry are in fact purebred. Discovering an animal was falsely registered and not what it was said to be can mean a major losS in investment and a contentious legal dispute between all involved parties.
​
Despite the AKC's size and reputation, the organization does not step in when disputes arise between owners, breeders and handlers of show animals. Its main concern is keeping track of breeding records and maintaining the breed standard, not protecting your rights and disputing the terms of an animal contract. That's where the skill and experience of Cofiño Trial Law comes into play.
Common Issues Concerning AKC Registration
In addition to being a representative to the AKC, attorney Pedro A. Cofiño is a board member and past president of the Greater Miami Dog Club, and has been active in the show world since 1998. Mr. Cofiño understands what could be at stake if a show animal dispute is not resolved.
​
There are few lawyers in the world like him who have the level of experience and talents necessary to resolve legal disputes that include:
​
-
Co-owner disputes
-
DNA complaints associated with breeding issues
-
Forging signatures to register a show animal
-
Forging signatures to show an animal
-
Forging verbal contracts or written agreements
-
Falsifying an animal's pedigree to get AKC registration
-
Misrepresenting the nature of a show animal
