I just got my Yorkie and she was offered only with APRI application. I was going to turn her down despite her awesome looks and obvious health until they said she was AKC eligible as well. We have her home now pending the AKC finalization. I've already been in direct contact with the breeder about it so am confident.
It was very important to me for my Yorkie becuase I want to be able to show conformation and agility.
For our kids beagle - not so much. :-) For our lab-mix pound puppy resuced doggie - not even an option!
But having the AKC designation does lend a credibility to the puppy which is why we wanted that option.
