I agree. I don't think they can be credited in stopping them. However, I do know that when AKC was here, they dna'd my puppies and parents. I don't believe that any other registry does that. Or if they even do inspections.
For record keeping, I see an awful lot of people suspended for inadequate records. I've never heard of them coming back and helping you fix the problem.
