| I know some breeders duel register with AKC and the other registries but try not to breed many AKC litters so they can avoid AKC inspection. I definitely think AKC is the most reputable. I would be terrified breeding a 4 lb female. There are too many dangers involved. |

| APRI clearly states on their website that their purpose is to protect the retail pet industry/pet stores. America's Pet Registry - FAQs Pet shop puppies come from puppy mills and their genetic background is a mystery. Responsible breeders don't breed dogs unless they know they are free of genetic conditions they could pass on to their offspring. |

It is a very bad misconception on this forum in particular that merely testing your sires and dams will ensure that there is no genetic issues in them. So, what about carriers that will not be clinical for the condition and will not test positive for the condition but still has the potential with the right combination to produce a puppy with a problem? That is what responsible breeders will cover with genetic health guarantees and not just for a week or a month or even a year, usually longer guarantees are given and not just test parents for things that often do not show up but may in a puppy and furthermore, you test a puppy young enough it may very well test ok but later on becomes clinical as it was too young for the problem to manifest at the time of testing. Is the breeder no longer responsible because after all the parents were tested and so was the puppy at some silly age like 2 or 3 months? Certainly if the puppy has a problem at that young an age, you do have to follow it up and don't sell it unless it is ok. A responsible breeder also has their sires and dams registered with a bona fide registery to assure any buyer that this is indeed a purebred dog dutifully registered with a registery that will verify its authenticity as purebred and you won't get a surprise down the road if y ou breed it such as 'rare' colours non existent in the yorkie or something that sure looks like a crossbreed. Dogs from other countries, to be registered AKC in the US or Canadian Kennel Club in Canada, must have 3 generation pedigrees with registration numbers of each dog in the pedigree and be from a recognized Kennel Club registry of that country to be accepted by their regisry and for the dog to be shown in AKC or Canadian Kennel Club dog shows to get their championships.. | |

My point was that a responsible breeder knows her lines which is exactly what you are saying. | |

I was given advice many years ago that I have my pups I kept for show and know how they turned out but I also want to keep tabs with pups I sold for pet not only how they turned out as adults but inmy opinion, how did they do healthwise? That's why I like to keep in touch with people who have my dogs and they do keep in touch with me. | |
