I think, like most have said, it's more of a personal preference. I got my dog from a great breeder but he is APRI certified. Like chachi said, having a AKC dog doesn't guarantee that it's coming from a great breeder.
You can ask your breeder to see the parents and their living conditions when you look for puppies. If they're hesitant or making up excuses when you ask to see their living condition or parents, I would move on to the next. That's just my opinion and from what I gathered from other members on this board!
Good luck!!
