I think it's important for pet owners to support the AKC, I hope one day pet owners are just as involved with policy as breeders. In addition to regular registration, we signed up for life time lost and found and his microchip number is issued with the AKC. They also have a pretty good program where they will help notify vets and pounds for you should your dog become lost. I also think registering your dog helps pay for the kennel inspections they do, which I'm in favor of. |
