| I'm sure you'll get lots of answers and links. All three of mine are APRI, and whether its as good as AKC makes no difference to me. I love them all and have no plans to show, so being "standard" is of no importance. I do know they cannot be dual registered with AKC. |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | From what I have read, seen and been told (no offense to anyone that has an APRI registered dog) is that the dogs there couldn't be registered at AKC. They might not have come from fully pure parents or possibly be from someone that got a dog with no registration or limited registration and wants to breed and be able to make some money on the pups so they register APRI and use that as their marketing tool. I was told by some breeders that I met online and others that I knew that the standard for registering on APRI is very laxed and they personally wouldn't buy a dog registered as such for themselves or to incorporate into their breeding lines.

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | Someone on another chat had given me these when I asked about APRI when I was looking to buy my second dog: This excerpt came from a pet fancy bulletin: American Pet registry will register ANY dog, and even mixes. It is a good indication that the dog is NOT purebred, or that its parents couldn't be registered.. Many pet quality dogs are sold with a limited registration, to keep people from breeding them..If those are bred, then their pups can't be registered, so they switch to a worthless registration club... APRI registration means absolutely nothing..not even that the pup is purebred..It is a real scam, for use by disreputable breeders. Most puppy mill dogs are APR or Continental KC registered. Source(s): dog breeder since 1968 ... I would rather have an unregistered dog as a pet, than an APR registered one..as that regitistry is an indication of a poor quality or unhealthy dog raised by a money hungry breeder with no ethics and here is something else my friend got for me from another board she is on. This is the answer you got to your question on another group. The woman who wrote it shows and breeds and is quite knowledgable. I thought others on this board might want to know: I don?t know for what purpose you are planning to get your female. If you just want her for a loving pet, for breeding, for show? APRI - American Pet Registration Inc. is NOT accepted by AKC. You can?t transfer a registration from APRI to AKC and you can?t register pups of an APRI registrated female to AKC. That could influence the price people are willing to pay for them, I guess. Hope it helps!

| Just to let you know, there is APR and APRI. APRI is the better of the two whereas APR will register just about any dog. If I remember correctly, your dog must have papers from certain registeries only to be registered with APRI unless the parents are all ready registered under them and then the puppies would be also. But you can't register an APRI dog as AKC. AKC is stricter with their rules. AKC is still the oldest and most trusted registry although I can understand why some choose alternative registeries like APRI because of problems with AKC but even I prefer to have most of my dogs registered with AKC.
