I would not purchase a dog that was not AKC registered. at the same time I would not purchase just any dog from just any breeder just because the said their dogs were AKC registered. The AKC standards is a great place to start but like people said breeders and their intentions go from one end of the spectrum to another.
To me there is no point to register to a secondary registry for a country. It would that accepts the primacy Registries rejects, unless you wanted to get into a club to show and actually be a participating member of that particular club. Whose to say that a group of puppy millers cant get together and create a new registry just to appeal to the market and sell their puppies. Whose to say they they have not already done so?
With that in mind if your dog is not registered AKC why even register it with another place if u never planed to show? to me thas just a waste of money and at that point all that matters is the love that you give that pet. IMO |
