| registries When you purchase a puppy and plan to breed one day how should it be registerd? I always thought that AKC was what registery to look for. But now I am not sure and am confused on all the different choices. Is American Canine Association (ACA), just as good as AKC? Can someone please help me and fill me in on the differences? Thanks, |

| I personally feel that AKC is the best one to go with. Many people will not buy a Yorkie unless it is AKC registered. I bought one that was AKC and one that was APR. It just depends on what you plan on doing with the dogs. Such as Breeding, Selling things like that. AKC has different requirements compared to the other ones. Actually not one Registry is alike. Research them. AKC's website is www.akc.org. |

| Thanks for the info. I am looking at a male puppy that is just absolutly adorable. My female is AKC. I was hoping to breed her with a stud in the future. But the only thing I am unsure about is the breeder said "He is registered with the American Canine Association (ACA), this is the oldest canine association in America, and the most prestigious". I am just so uneducated with anything other than AKC. I am so dissapointed because I got my hopes up with this little guy. |

| I'm not trying to tell you one is better or not. The breeder(demon) who I got Pebbles filled me with a load of crap about APR. She also hand typed up some facts about it...how dumb. I mean I just didnt have any luck with Pebbles. Good luck with it all, after all its just a puppy. Just make sure it's a healthy one. |

| I think what happens with AKC, some breeder give limited registration with there puppies and it is easy to register a puppy with others. A good breeder that is trying to improve the breed will sell limited registration to puppies they might think that will not improve the breed, but will make a great pet. My two both have papers and I didn't even send them in, they have both been fixed.............Cindy |

| AKC has stricter standards than some of the other registries. Like Maddie-Rudy-Mom said about good or ruputable breeders giving limited AKC registration on their puppies. So to breed a dog with limited registration some people register the dog with the other registries that are not so strick on their requirements so they can sell their puppies with papers. Also some of the other registries will also register cross breeds and mixes which AKC will not. A lot of people think that if a pup has papers it must be healthy or have a good line or be a purebred. So sometimes people may be fooled into buying a puppy with papers thinking it is a purebred.... and find out later it is not. Last edited by Breeze; 02-16-2005 at 10:23 PM. |

| Akc When the AKC started DNA ID for males, many breeders left. If you are a volume breeder and have to pay $40 per stud for DNA it can cut into profits. ALso, many tell me they do not have to worry about AKC inspection of records, dogs and kennels. There are a few registeries that do not insist the parents be purebred to register pups. I perfer the AKC..they are not perfect, but it is the best in my opinion. |

| ACA vs AKC AKC has existed since the 1800's ACA is 20 years old AKC has very strick standards they will not register a litter AKC if one parent is an ACA. AKC will not accept ACA registration. AKC tracks by pedigree. AKC has show quality standards. ACA will accept a picture and letter from the owner of the animal or written information from a vet (stating your dog is a purebed) a pedigree is not necessary, thus allowing a non-papered animal to become papered. ACA will accept AKC registration. ACA has no defined show quality standard. There is some much more but this is the main difference. hope this helps Kimberly |
