It really depends. Unless I was getting a puppy from a rescue situation, I would definitely want AKC registration as that is a sign of a good breeder. HOWEVER, that is not the only sign of a good breeder. So I think the most important thing to do is to research the breeder you are interested in purchasing from. Once you trust your breeder, then you should be able to let them know what you need and they should be able to let you know which puppy(ies) would best suit your family.
