I am surprised you find it illegal...there are NO illegal rules in what you can breed to what in the dog world...there are no rules period! If there were, we would have no puppymills.
You have mistaken the AKC for a group that cares about the welfare of dogs..that is your first mistake.

AKC is a profit making recording agency ...who I might add have lost millions trying to make registering rules..those rules are different then "what dog is bred to what.(breeding rules).AKC wants to make sure the stud owner has paid for the DNA recording, but they do not care of the stud is related to the dam, it can be his full sister.
"Ain't reality a bitch?

So what does this mean for the pet owner....DEAL WITH A REPUTABLE BREEDER...and I might add..linebreeding, is good breeding. Inbreeding is no longer necessary to produce type...and lethal in the hands of a novice.
