Yes, The AKC does inspections, but for the most part they're checking to see if your dogs are properly identified and your records are up to date. And since my dogs are part of the family they pretty much have the run of the house, so I don't call it a kennel. They have a whole bedroom of their own where each has their own crate which is only used at night to sleep in. Potential new families really don't come to inspect your home, they come to see your puppies to see that that they are clean and cared for. Since my puppies are kept in my bedroom with their mother, in a puppy play pen until the day they go home. Puppies are brought out into a sectioned off area of my living area, where the new families sit on the floor to play with puppies.
