I'm not sure who you're referring to as not reputable breeders, but I am very proud that AKC recognizes me as a Breeder of Merit.
Health testing, complete paperwork, 4 or more dogs that I bred earned their AKC Championship, and Club membership.. Are you kidding me? It's a lot of work, time and money to breed correctly.
I wouldn't call it hype, I would think that it shows that we do a lot more than just throwing 2 dogs together to make babies.
