I personally wouldn't take someone's word over the phone, I would want to see it in writing because that's the only way you can be sure, or have legal recourse.
Here is information taken from taken from AKC website:
"The AKC is the only purebred registry in the United States with an ongoing routine kennel inspection program. The AKC has a dedicated team of field inspectors who visit kennels to ensure the proper care and conditions of AKC-registered dogs and verify that breeders are maintaining accurate records for their dogs. In 2007, AKC field inspectors conducted approximately 5,600 inspections nationwide. The AKC dedicates nearly $6 million annually to its compliance programs to ensure the accuracy of its registry and the care and conditions of dogs raised by breeders of AKC dogs."

I'm not sure why you did not provide the link, but here is the link to the CKC, I could not find anything about them doing inspections, could you please point this out? Continental Kennel Club |
No, I am not confusing Continental w/ Canadian. It was Continental I was referring to and that I was using as an example in order to correct a mistruth.
I'm not sure why what AKC has posted on their site is relevant here...I'm not debating that they do inspections nor am I challenging that they are the most strict with the practice. I don't see from my previous post where I challenged anything the AKC does...? What exactly is the point posting that excerpt?
I didn't post the CKC link I guess basically because I am lazy and figure that it would be easy enough to find. My mistake, here it is:

Bottom line, I wasn't trying to discredit AKC or promote one registry over another. Simply put, the statement was made that AKC was the only organization that did kennel inspections, which is not accurate--that is all I was trying to point out. My statments are no more or less credible than any of the others made here.
