Is this only if dogs are sold just through petshop??
(Not total sure here)
But, I think it's the same way with AKC if the dogs are petshop puppies.

No, it's a blanket policy for all sales. This is from the same link I posted above:

All APRI records are strictly confidential by board policy. We do not divulge any information about anyone, including a pet owner such as yourself, to anyone or to any organization.

I would personally not trust a registry that was founded by professional puppy breeders to protect the wholesale pet industry.

And what do you think AKC was founded on?
AKC = American Kennel Club

I found this so AKC does not release info either.

In the past, I bought an AKC dog from a breeder.
How can I find the contact information for my breeder?

Answer:
The AKC is unable to release this information to you, pursuant to the AKC Board of Director’s Disclosure of Information Policy. AKC does not disclose information from its registration records or from its correspondence files without “the express permission of the principals or due process of law.” This would include revealing the names and addresses of the owners of dogs or information on an individual's dogs or litters. The AKC Board of Director’s Disclosure of Information Policy is available for review on the AKC website at http://www.akc.org/rules/policymanual.cfm.
