| ACA registration questions I've been trying to do some research on puppy mills and trying to find out where some of the pet stores get their puppies. There is a pet store near me selling yorkie, shih tzu, and chi puppies for prices between $375-$895, but I notice the registration is ACA. Can someone help me understand the difference in ACA and AKC and why someone would register under ACA vs. AKC? Thanks in advance!

| AKC would be the best in my opinion for American registered dogs. I don't know the history on ACA, but someone told me it spung into being when AKC started requiring DNA on Male stud dogs after so many litters. In my opinion AKC would be the way to go especially if you want to breed or show. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | The AKC is the only registry that does inspections, and many breeders had to leave it because they didn't pass. So they came up with the ACA, which has know links to puppy mills, and in my opinion is worthless. Please don't buy your pet from a petstore, no quality breeder sells to petstore, they are supplied by puppy mills. For more information on buying a puppy see this link from the Humane Society Puppy Buying Tips

| Thank you, that would be great! Right now, I'm doing some research on the humane laws. Apparently, Ohio has the weakest humane laws of any state in the country. I want to put a letter together to send to the appropriate people to get these laws changed. Once I get the letter finished, I'll post it on YT, and it would be great if I could get as many people as possible to send the letter. I think one of the reasons Ohio has so many puppy mills is because of these poor laws. Basically, we have to start from the top in order to get anything done. I'm willing to do whatever it takes.
