Sadly AKC is a registry and not a protector of our precious dogs. I remember when the lightbulbs went off and how upset I was...here is this "non profit" organization that makes milllions of dollars and only has 7 people to inspect kennels. I have also posted where AKC (taken right off of their website) entertained the Hunt Corp because they want their registries and they do not care how these animals are raised.

I have many articles that I could post but while I believe AKC tries to keep their registries honest (even though it wasn't until 1999 they wanted blood samples and only if they have 4 litters a year) I don't believe they do anything to help protect the dogs.

I believe changes will happen but it will start in England and Europe before it moves over to the US. Look into the Crupps shows and what is happening in England and how their (AKC) is trying to do things for the health of the dogs and not for how the dogs look.
