Knowing your breeder is key to a healthy, well breed dog.
AKC seems to be the preferred registary is all. |
Actually it doesn't even mean that it came from the 2 dogs that are listed as parents. Which is why it is important to research the breeder first then find a puppy.
But I do think that having the AKC makes people believe that they are worth more. It is one of the first questions that people ask.
