You can ask anyone on YT and they will tell you I am not in love with AKC but they are head and shoulders above APRI. APRI just stands for breeding anything to anything...and a way to sucker people into giving $$$$ for a "registered/papered" dog...it is only good for the paper part (for putting under the puppy).

· Who Controls APRI?
APRI is managed by a board of directors equally dedicated to preserving the individual's right to own and breed pets. If you as a professional breeder ever contributed to a puppy check-off in the 1980's or 90's, YOU PAID FOR THE REGISTRY, and it is your organization.
APRI recently re-incorporated as a
for-profit corporation. We were advised by our CPA and our attorney that we could not contribute to many political issues affecting the pet industry and pet ownership as a non-profit corporation (as we were for the first 10 years of our existence). Since protecting and promoting pet ownership and the breeding of pets is one of our primary goals, we need to be able to promote favorable legislation and oppose unfavorable legislative attempts to restrict or eliminate pet owners and breeders.
I recently bought a puppy, and, until I received the papers, I didn't realize it was sold to me with a "limited" registration. I am going to send the papers to the AKC, but was wondering if, once I receive the papers, could I then register the pup with AKC?
APRI will dual register any AKC dog if the breeder/owner is in good standing with AKC.
We do not restrict breeding simply because of the limited registration (see comments to previous question). However, we expect pet owners and breeders to refrain from breeding any dog with limited registration if it is limited because of genetic or health problems.
All potential pet owners and breeders should seriously question the reason behind any limited registration
Do you really need more dogs breed that are just mutts, unhealthy, or out of the standard!!!!!Do you believe this?
