If you have a representative that you are in doubt about then you could always ask their name and call AKC before letting them in your home. The representative will always wear plastic coverings over their shoes and they carry a laptop so they can log on AKC's website and check your dog records on the spot.
I usually have 7 litters a year and I have been inspected 3 times over the past 5 years. All three times everything checked out perfect. I really appreciate AKC and the job they are doing.[/QUOTE]
I'm new here and trying to learn all I can about this beautiful breed, so I've read quite a few of the threads. From the show breeders I've talked to most don't have 7 litters a year and these are people that show their dogs!!
I'm just curious as to how many other "breeders" on here have 7 or more litters a year and don't show their dogs because they can't afford to??

Most of the show breeders I know do not have more than maybe 3 to 4 litters a year. Most breeders that don't show their dogs and have more than 6 litters are more concerned with selling puppies than improving the breed but again that is just my opinion and I could be wrong but why would anyone want more than 3 to 4 litters a year anyway?
