AKC's income is not dependent on Hunt Corporation (whole seller). And I'm not defending Hunt by all means. While registration of dogs do contribute somewhat to their income, dog shows are a bigger contributer.
But, that is not the point. What is being addressed is that if pet owners do register their, pet owners numbers would grow, therefore having an ability to have a voice in the direction AKC takes.
While AKC is not perfect, it is still the most desirable in upholding the purebred dog. Where others such APRI, UKC, CKC requirements have no where near the standards.
