a GREAT REPUTABLE REGISTERED [AKC, UKC, Can.KC] BREEDER does not breed a ton of litters a year. So even when picking a purebred, registered puppy you can't trust all the breeders with papers either... it's all about doing you're homework.
I'd consider a lady with a couple AKC dogs who produces 3-4 litters a year as a BYB.
Maci's breeder only has 1 or 2 litters a year yet she has 5-6 dogs capable of having puppies. Most years she skips breeding season ALL TOGETHER.
She chooses not to overbred. Those are the people we should support. People who can skip a whole year or two of breeding because they don't want to over populate. Her dogs are also only sold to show homes if they are show quality. And even co-owned until pointed or titled.
