Bottom line is, the type of registration is important, but you should also know your breeder. JMHO |
This is great!!!
I 100% agree with this! I have seen some wonderful dogs that are registered elsewhere and some really horrible quality AKC dogs. AKC just proves that the dog is purebred, but that puppy can come from the worst of the worst purbreds too. It is the breeder that is most important.....
