Both my Mini Schnauzer and my Yorkie are AKC. We registered them, then got them spayed without breeding either one. We have no reason to breed. There are enough pets to go around already. We dont show either. I did feel like it was important to have the AKC registration. I feel like it at least gives you a record of where the dog came from and who is involved. If there are champions in the line, at least you know that this is someone who is showing dogs, and hopefully not just churning out litters in their garage.
