Many different systems have tried to improve upon the current method of holding petz showz (referred to as "pose showz" because the petz are judged by pose, not how well they meet a breed standard). The PKC and DKC are the two largest and most enduring of these organizations.

The PKC is the Petz Kennel Club and registers both dogz and catz.

"The Petz Kennel Club (PKC), maintains a purebred dog registry, sanctions dog events, and promotes responsible dog ownership. PKC registration means a dog, its parents, and its ancestors are purebred, but it does not indicate health or quality. Dogs with full PKC registration can have their offspring registered, and dogs with full or limited registration, such as those with hexed variations, can compete in PKC events and use PKC's full line of education and information services. Catz too may be registered, compete, and breed within PKC guidelines." — The old PKC hompepage

PKC showz are more realistic (and therefore more complicated) than the standard showz that most people are involved in. Petz can earn titles in Obedience, Conformation showz, Premier Showz, and two new competitions, Skill Trials and Good Petz Citizen Awards.

A "PKC Starter Pack" is available at the PKC site that explains everything to newcomers. :)

The PKC community is split between traditional webpages and communities on MSN's servers, where most of the showz are held. Old timers like me remember when, back in the days of Excite, the PKC and DKC were on the same server... and I only had one password and username to remember... those were the days! ;)

The Dogz Kennel Club "is a registry for all dogz in the P.F.Magic computer programs." (Not the same as the PKC, although many kennelz that register dogz with one also register their dogz with the other). Like the PKC, they issue purebred dogz a number. Unlike the PKC, purebred dogz can be registered even if their parents haven't been.

The point system is slightly different, as are the set of events held. The DKC currently holds Obedience Competitions, Field Trials, Agility Trials, Conformation Showz, Showz for Conformation champions, Breed Showz... the list goes on and on!

The active DKC community is largely on Community Zero's servers.
