Thanks BlueSkies -- I had not read that before. But it seems like they have already disqualified most situations. I can't think of what situation it would apply to. Here are the disquals:
"There are a number of reasons a purebred dog would be ineligible for registration or the owner might choose to apply for a PAL/ILP instead of registering the dog. To list a few of the more common ones:

Dog is from a rescue group or shelter
Owner never received papers from the breeder
Incomplete paper work
Owner does not want to pay late fees
Dog registered with another organization ineligible for AKC registration such as:
America’s Pet Registry (APRI)
Continental Kennel Club (CKC)
Canine Kennel Club (CKC)
United All Breed Registry
United Kennel Club (exceptions for Coonhounds & certain FSS breeds)
North American Purebred Dog Registry "

So, this OP could nt use this option since she never got papers from the breeder when she bought the dog. I am glad they have the list for disqualification. I was concerned on first glance that they might be registering dogs previously from other registries.
