The AKC in itself is neither good nor bad, it is the only "registry" that actually requires proof of parentage, so that makes it more reliable than any others, but it doesn't guarantee that the breeders are good. I hope that more pet owners will register their AKC eligible pets and become more actively involved in the AKC, and support them in their efforts of eliminating bad and inhumane breeding practices.
Nancy,what if AKC decided not to endorse Petstore of any kind and BYB without proper strict information. Would this help in the elimination of Puppy Mills and BYB?
