It's like you want to show you undying support to the millers. Breeders use legitimate registries to search pedigrees, and pet owners register their dogs with legitimate registries, to show support for the work they are doing, including ridding themselves of puppy mill breeders.


I think it's fine and fun that you want to give Sadie a formal name, but no need to register her and give them any money. Just make birth announcements and send to your friends or something like that. Please don't support APRI breeders.

Well said Nancy!!!
