I believe the AKC registration does confirm the fact that the pup is purebred. However, because of not only bad breeding, but also genetic throwbacks not all of them would fall into the breed standard that AKC has set. The AKC breed standards are the guidelines that an ideal specimen would fall into. And according to these standards is how the judge for competitions & shows.
