My pup is dual registered with ACA (American Canine Association) and APRI. Both sets of papers I rec'd go back 5 generations. |
I don't think "dual registered" means anything good. Dogs who are registered with the AKC are registered for life, but if a breeder is suspended, the dogs litter can not be registered, so the breeder goes to one of the alternative registries, who will register any breeder. Remember, we are talking about the breeders not the dogs.
ACA - American Canine Association Advertises that over 3000 adult breeding canines are registered each week. Only registry endorsed by Petland. **Caters to commercial breeders.** Refers puppy seekers to pet stores.
APRI - AMERICA'S PET REGISTRY INC. Advertises free registration for commercial breeders. Non Profit 'dedicated to the preservation of the professional pet industry', dogs and cats. Founded by retailers of pets (commercial breeders and resellers).
