Actually I don't think most people care about the papers that much, and most don't understand the difference between registries. I think if AKC made more rules, more breeders would leave, and than inspections would fall only on the USDA which doesn't seem to suspend many people ever, they are much more likely to give them years to comply with their very lenient regulations. The AKC isn't a law enforcement agency, and cannot make rules for kennel conditions, any stricter than what state law authorizes.
