Apparently I can't ask the AKC:

In the past, I bought an AKC dog from a breeder. How can I find the contact information for my breeder?

I want to contact a specific breeder. Can you give me their phone number or address?

Answer:

The AKC is unable to release this information to you, pursuant to the AKC Board of Director’s Disclosure of Information Policy. AKC does not disclose information from its registration records or from its correspondence files without “the express permission of the principals or due process of law.” This would include revealing the names and addresses of the owners of dogs or information on an individual's dogs or litters. The AKC Board of Director’s Disclosure of Information Policy is available for review on the AKC website at http://www.akc.org/rules/policymanual.cfm.
If you are interested in purchasing a dog of a particular breed, the easiest and most convenient way to find the right dog is through the AKC website - www.akc.org. The site offers potential puppy buyers access to a wealth of information on buying a dog, selecting a breeder, and dog care.
The best way to ensure a long and happy relationship with a purebred dog is to purchase from a responsible breeder. While the AKC does not license, endorse, or recommend breeders, we do provide a step-by-step procedure that will lead you to the breed of dog best suited for you and a breeder in your area.
