Registered Kennels: Does it matter if we chop and change?

[BabyKittenCandy]

When I set up First Frost Kennels, it was for Mala's, shiba's, Akita's and American Eskimo's. My Winter Haven Kennels was set for German Shep's, Pitties and a few stragglers. Now I have more dogs and have taken a interest in a few more breed's, I am thinking of making for eg, FFK just for Mala's and Elkhounds, WHK just for my GSD, wolfhounds and BC's and a new Kennel (unless I end up specialising in even more breeds, which is highly possible ^^ in which case it will eventually be even more kennels) for the remains of my pack.

So, the question is, would this prove a problem in any way? Can dogs be transfered within our own Kennels without any complications? And pups I have contracts on (from my dogs) where the breed gets transfered to a new kennel, would i need to get the contract resigned under the new kennel name? Or keep it as is since that is where the dogs were at the time.

Last thing.. how do you decide which dogs to keep where? Do you prefer to have a Kennel per breed you specialise in? Or X amounts of breed per Kennel?

I would suggest that as long as you have one male and two females of any one breed in each of your Kennels, it doesn't really matter who or what else is there.  For contract signing, I would think that the old contract would still apply and it wouldn't be necessary to have your puppies' owners sign a new contract.  The only issue that I could see there being would be if you have acronym's in your dogs show names and require that pups maintain your acronym if bred by you.  It wouldn't really be fair to ask the people you've sold puppies to to go and change there pups show names just because you moved you kennels around, so I imagine you would just have new pups born after the switch with the new acronym.  (You might even connect acronym's and contracts, ie. if puppy A has BKC for their acronym, they subscribe to contract 1 etc.)
