it cost me, $75.00 to register a litter of 6 silky terriers. that is why you see people here asking for the coupons. and is not apples and oranges, is HONEST BREEDING, no matter the breed, is a WRONG thing to do.. like a puppy mill is a puppy mill does not matter the breeds they breed, well Same thing with the AKC, inline breeding is being done by some of the AKC breeders in ALL Breeds, just an inconvinience truth when it comes to AKC and breeding.. the mud is always cleaner inside.. until a couple of insiders get out.. not a nice thing to say but they are not what they started to be..
the lesson here is
"People do your homework, visit and re visit your breeder, ask LOTS of questions, and ask to see the puppy interact with other dogs before you take one home, and specially if you are planing on showing, MAKE sure you see health testing papers for at least 5 generations. For Pet quality, ask as many questions as you can, health papers are always good to see. DO NOT base your puppy purchase on AKC, or any other registry alone".
