Oh I missed your post. Here's what one site say about APRI
Quote:
|
APRI - AMERICA'S PET REGISTRY INC. Advertises free registration for commercial breeders. Non Profit 'dedicated to the preservation of the professional pet industry', dogs and cats. Founded by retailers of pets (commercial breeders and resellers). Registries |
The problem with this is APRI sells all their dogs with breeding rights, so these dogs will most likely be bred. That's why it's important for us to keep on educating the public that breeding their pets is not a good idea, and don't support "greeders".
