If the breeding pair are NOT AKC registered a breeder cannot register a litter. I would guess this is the reason no AKC papers will be given with this puppy. I would "think" a reputable breeder would have registered breeding dogs, and would register all her litters JMO. If a breeder told me
"All I need to worry about is the warranty on the puppy and not about AKC papers" I would walk away, but that is ME. If this breeder is advertising her puppies are AKC registered then she should be giving you papers, no papers "Red Flag". In all honesty, my last two females had their papers but didn't register them, I had no intention of breeding them so I saw no reason to register them.
