The only registries I think are reputable in the US are AKC and UKC. The others are basically there to register anything else that can't be registered with AKC or UKC and so that people can still claim that their puppies are "registered". There are so many crappy registries out there that don't mean a thing and will register any dog - whether it is a mixed breed or purebred.
Lacy is not AKC registered - she is registered with a registry that isn't worth anything to me. The only reason I even sent in the paperwork was just to have it. At the time I got Lacy I just wanted a puppy so bad and didn't really care what she was registered with. From now on though I plan to only buy AKC registered puppies.
