Purchasing an AKC registered dog comes with the ability of lodging complaints should there be any question of parentage of the pup... Since you are allowed to register mixed breeds in the other two, that option is mute. |
My thoughts exactly. Although having and AKC registered dog does not mean a thing if the breeder is bad, you still have more recourse.
Not saying this is true in all cases, but my opinion is that people go to The lessor registries when they can't get them registered AKC.
