Well, the verdict is in and the AKC has chosen to bury their head in the sand.
It is with great reservation that I am posting, but feel it is neccessary.
Below is an e-mail chain between the AKC and myself, start at the bottom and work your way up.
Note:
Any hound with this cross is not papered correctly regardless. If XXXXX would come forward and state the true sire, correct registrations would be possible.
Sport was DNA'd, so the correct cross could be proven.
I am having trouble posting the documents, so those of you Patch breeders and owners that want to see the litter registrations, PM me your e-mail address and the pedigree of your dog and I will forward the litter registrations and the letter from the AKC to you.
So, those of you that don't care about true lineage, there are no issues.
For those of you that do, please don't threaten or harm XXXXX, his family or property, if you feel it neccessary, there are legal channels to follow if you so desire.

All,
Here is what we pay AKC for!
Distribute as you wish, I believe we need to get the word out about the AKC.
This should not be just a beagle issue but all breed owners should be aware of how the AKC handles forged papers and false breedings.
How many of us truly have “pure bred” AKC dogs if this is how they handle such issues.
I am more frustrated with the AKC than the culprit who forged the papers now.

Maria,
With all due respect, it is so obvious, a blind man could see it!
The only thing that is compromised, is the integrity of the AKC.
This should never have taken 13 years to be discovered, the AKC should have caught this years ago.
It was discovered because of MY record keeping, not the AKC’s.
It is proven however by your very own documents, which obviously isn’t worth the paper it is written on.
I believe as I imagine all others will also when this goes viral, AKC is only worried about the almighty dollar, not the integrity of pure bred dogs!
So much for AKC being the standard in pure bred dogs!

Dear Mr. Holstine,
The ability to conduct a thorough investigation into this matter is compromised by the length of time, 13 years, since the action occurred.

Maria,
So there is a time limit on accuracy of lineage and papers on “Pure Bred” dogs with the AKC?
What is this time frame for accuracy?

Maria.
I have yet to receive it, however in an earlier email (scroll down) you had asked if I wanted it emailed also and I replied yes.
Try to understand my frustration with the length of time this has taken.
I have spent a lot of money over the years registering with AKC and keeping detailed records.

Maria,
It has been 23 days since my last correspondence and 8 months since this has been brought to your attention and still no response yet.
In all honesty, how long does it take to look at the forgery and see the obvious?
Please don’t take this as a threat but rather fair warning that if the AKC sweeps this under the rug, I will post all correspondence to every Beagle board on the internet.
People paying to register dogs with the AKC have the right to know what we are paying for, or the lack there of.

Maria,
I received the paperwork yesterday, 10-4-10. If you will look at the litter registration copies, you will see that Mr. XXXXXXXXX definitely forged the application and my signature.
Take note of how I print, I have always printed using capital letters and my signature has a backwards slant. Also, I make my number 8 as two circles, one on top of the other, not a figure 8, and his lower case y is identical in his name (XXXXX) as my name (Rowdy). The litter registration in question is filled out in lower case letters, which is identical to Mr. XXXXXXXXX's, and the signature looks nothing like all the other applications that I have submitted over the years.
I believe there are many dogs that trace back to this falsified breeding and feel the AKC has sufficient grounds to ban Mr. XXXXXXXXX for life.
I feel the AKC is the standard in dog registration and this should not and cannot be tolerated.
There are many honest breeders out there that feel they have pure bred, registered dogs when in fact they do not because of Mr. XXXXXXXXX's dishonesty.
Quite honestly, if he was willing to do this once, it is highly probable he has done it many times in one form or another.
I have left a voicemail for you, please call me, I would like to discuss this matter with you.
Sincerely,
Rowdy H. Holstine

Dear Mr. Holstine:
Based on the number of years that have passed, the image of the litter application is not readily available to email to you. We will attempt to request this from our Microfiche items and then mail it to you. Please allow one to two weeks for it to be received. If the microfiche is not available we will contact you.
As far as the records for the litters sired by this dog we can confirm that during your recorded ownership there were 10 litters registered with AKC. We have requested the Microfiche for these as well and will mail once received.

Dear AKC,
It has come to my attention that there may be a falsified breeding from my sire Diamond Sadies Sport that did NOT take place but yet there are two dogs registered as Sport being the sire.
The breeding in question is between:
Diamond Sadies Sport - HD881936
and
West River Patch Bonnie - HM286614
Which produced:
Plowboys Frosty Patch - HM80820502
and
Plowboys Digger Patch - HM80820501
DOB – 12-02-1997
The only registration number that I can personally verify is Sports, the others were given to me by a second party.
Do you have a copy of the signature of the sire (Sport) of this breeding, and if so, can you scan and e-mail it to me?
Also, is it possible to get a listing of all litters and whelping dates that Sport sired?
I have a feeling this may not be the only case.
Thank you,
Rowdy H. Holstine
