This change in tone has not been without controversy, especially because a [[subscription]] was previously included in the price of membership of the CKC, and some CKC members believed that if the price of subscription is included in the fee, than the magazine should focus solely on purebred dogs. Now, the magazine is a CKC member benefit and members who do not like the more mainstream content can elect not to receive the magazine. However, with recent changes in editorial staff, the magazine now appears to have bowed to pressure from the CKC, and the its focus has returned to promoting the interests of pedigree breeders generally, and CKC members in particular. |
