I think that's a choice they make. Some aren't close to, or involved with the regional club, so don't join. But they are involved with showing their dogs, so join the NCA.
We're not breeders but were members of the NCA before the CNC. I still haven't been to a CNC event either. They're all pretty far away from me, but I'll get there eventually.

Are you talking about an individual regional club's breeders list? That is different than being a member of a regional club. NCA has a set of guidlines or qualifications to be listed on the NCA breeders list, that many regional clubs do not require. You can view the breeder qualifications here: http://www.ncanewfs.org/breeder.shtml Could be that one breeder has not met the requirements as yet, or does meet requirements and chooses not to apply. Also, if you are seeing some on the NCA list and not with their regional club, could be a couple of reasons. Many regional clubs do not maintain a breeders list for their club. If the regional club does maintain a list of club breeders, a breeder on the NCA list may chose not to list with their regional club by choice. Although that does not necessarily mean that the breeder is not a member of their regional club.

Regional clubs have their own set of requirements for their club and then there are NCA BL requirements. NCA breeders can be members of several regional clubs. Some regional clubs have more extensive lists than others. Sometimes a breeder can qualify for a regional club list before they qualify for the NCA list.
