I promise I'm not trying to argue with you or insult your friends. Seriously though... they can't afford the $20 it costs to register a litter? I just can't buy that. Why are they constantly shelling out money to AKC? They surely don't register all of the puppies to themselves before they sell them.
My thoughts are that if they can't afford that, then maybe they need to get a new hobby. I just can't justify switching to a registry that is not near as reputible for that reason.
