I personally don't think there is anything wrong with ACA. They make any dog that don't have a pedigree do DNA to prove it's lines. I also like APRI they are very friendly and will always go out of their way to answer your questions. I have a couple of dogs that are AKC registered but when I breed them I am going to register the litters another registry than AKC. I don't like AKC they seem a little stuck up for my taste.
