A breeder friend of mine has AKC dogs, but she registered all of her dogs with CKC (continental) because she can register the liters at NO COST since she sells her puppies as pets only, she figures the registration doesn't matter, BUT if someone wants AKC she will register the puppy AKC if the buyer pays the fee. I think AKC needs to reduce the cost of registering a liter not increase it like they have done. years ago it was $10.00 per liter . Now it's over $20.00 plus $2.00 per puppy, so that's like getting paid 3 times for the same puppy!!! 1. the cost of the liter registeration 2. charging $2.00 per puppy 3. cost to the new owner to register the puppy in thier name. that is just crazy. 1 puppy = 3 fees.
