...[I]we like the fact that to register our litters with american pet, they require that all puppies registered with them have to come from AKC parents...... They also accept other registries and have just acquired an open registry that doesn't require validation of purebred lineage and will register any mix you like. They also address the DNA issue as being not cost effective and merely a Public Relations tool???????
so a breeder just trying to figure out all the new colors is clueless on where to start if purchasing to develop color in his/her lineage with AKC... A Breeder looking to incorporate a new dog into his/her breeding program will not just rely a piece of paper with lineages. They will research all available information on the preceding generations including genetics regarding health, temperment and color until they are satisfied with the answers.
Pretty good sales pitch though. |
