I get asked a lot about the PKC. What is it, how do you join?

In short, the Petz Kennel Club or PKC is the oldest and
largest petz showing organization today. The idea behind it is to try to follow
RL cat and dog clubs, although adapted to fit Petz. Petz are judged based on how
well they fit RL standards. There are different types of shows you can enter,
such as conformation, premier and obedience.
PKC prides itself on trying to be fair for everyone. Editing pictures or .pet
files is strictly forbidden. Members are encouraged to be friendly and mature,
and there is an excellent community spirit in the club.
I have been a PKC member since 2002 or so and today I'm one of the club admins, some of my main responsibilities includes breed file acceptance, approving new show sites and appointing staff members. I also enjoy submitting breeds for acceptance (have over 200 accepted at this point!), holding shows and being a part of the community in general.
My Kennels
I have five registered kennel names in the PKC, here you can read a little
bit about them (only including currently active ones).
I've used the prefix Novablue since 2001, although originally I spelled it
Nova Blue. It's my main prefix used for most dogz breeds, and most of my older
registered petz use this prefix too.
I have also registered the prefix NB which I use if the show name is a bit on
the long side or if the pet uses two prefixes (eg. NB/UMZ's The Great Bear).
Vättlefjäll [Vet-Leh-Fyel] is the name of a large forest area near where I
live, to which I have a strong bond. "Fjäll" means "mountain",
Vättle is an old word related to "Water" which means something like
"running water", Vättlefjäll is a forest/mountain area with a lot of
streams, rivers and marshes. I use this prefix on a select few breeds, mainly
Swedish breeds and/or ones that are very close to me.
Kattguld
Kattguld is a relatively new prefix for me, it literary means "Cat's
Gold" which is a Swedish term for "Fool's Gold". I thought it
would be a funny prefix
Willowmoor
Willowmoor is simply a translation of my RL last name to English! Right now
I use it for some Gundog and some Working breeds. I think it has a nice ring to
it!
