A dog must be neutered, to enter, so you see unscrupulous breeders will not be able to register their puppies, and sell them as AKC registered.

Will AKC be registering hybrid dogs through the Mixed Breed program?
Mixed breeds will not be “registered.” Only purebred dogs that originate from an AKC-registered sire and AKC-registered dam may be registered.
The Mixed Breed Program allows owners of mixed breed dogs, including hybrids, to list their dogs. The listing comes with several privileges, including the ability to participate in mixed breed classes held at standalone AKC Agility, Obedience, and Rally Events. Unlike registered dogs, AKC will not record parentage or any other lineage for mixed breed dogs.
All dogs listed through this program will be designated as a mixed breed. There will be no separate or special classification for hybrid/designer breeds. All dogs will have the same “mixed breed https://www.akc.org/pdfs/AKC_MB_Program_FAQ.pdf |
