AKC has stricter standards than some of the other registries.
Like Maddie-Rudy-Mom said about good or ruputable breeders giving limited AKC registration on their puppies. So to breed a dog with limited registration some people register the dog with the other registries that are not so strick on their requirements so they can sell their puppies with papers.
Also some of the other registries will also register cross breeds and mixes which AKC will not. A lot of people think that if a pup has papers it must be healthy or have a good line or be a purebred. So sometimes people may be fooled into buying a puppy with papers thinking it is a purebred.... and find out later it is not.
