Yes it is true AKC does register puppy mill dogs, BUT if you get the Gazett and look in the back you will find MANY people (puppy mills) that are suspended each month. This is a HUGE proble, with an estimate of over 2,000 puppy mills operating in the US. and supplying over 200,000 dpgs each year. No one is perfect BUT every small step is one closer. No one has the financial resorces to attack ALL at once. AKC registers dogs that have registered parents, they are a registry NOT a legal organization. They are trying, however small it may be. They will tell you what to look for in a breeder if you check their web site. Good Not PERFECT. A small step in the right direction. At least they do require more than a picture to register a dog!
