You are right. That is why as someone looking for a dog, you have to carefully examine the breeder, their line, reputation, etc. If records, DNA etc are important to you as a new owner (and they should be), don't get a dog from someone who can't give that to you. Just because non-AKC reg don't require and enforce it doesn't mean that some of their breeders don't do it anyway because it's the 'right thing to do.'
And for the record, CKC as I understand it has a program for breeders (preferred breeder program) where they require you do provide just those things that you've mentioned. So they seem to be making efforts to put a rest to that argument.
