AKC does not go 'above and beyond' to ensure their rules. They do some random checking when there are complaints, but with the huge number of kennels, they cannot and do not inspect them all and they do not DNA test. Even their website, which I quoted, maintains that they do not "guarantee the quality of a dog." I have never seen anywhere that AKC requires the microchipping of adult dogs. As for the other registries, I did not say anything about them so I have no clue why you're even bringing them up. AKC is the most widely known and the one that most breeders claim affiliation with, whether they're good reputable breeders, or nothing but puppy mills. As for the subject of unscrupulous breeders, puppy mills and scam artists, I am very well informed, which you would be as well if you took the time to actually read the articles and references on my website. Sure, I have opinions but I also state facts and figure, information from reputable sources. There are also a plethora of articles about puppy mills, many of which are USDA licensed selling AKC registered dogs. So please, do not come to my website, with your ill-informed opinions, insult me and claim you know what you're talking about. I have nothing against good reputable breeders. I know that there are quite a few who read my site, receive me newsletter and agree with me. Reputable breeders follow high standards and I have great respect for them. But trust me, just about anyone can get an AKC registration, all they need is AKC sire and damn and proof of a litter. It's so easy, you can even do it online. No one checks. Maybe you should take some time to fully explore your subject before you start insulting someone.

I am friends with AKC breeders. I am quite sure that AKC and their members would disagree with your prejudice comments. AKC does go above and beyond the other associations to ensure their rules. To your astonishment you may like to know that they (AKC) require breeders to mirochip their adult dogs and they come to check by doing a DNA test at random intervals. When AKC comes to check these facilities they also check the conditions and health!!!! Have you checked the rules or regulations of CKC,NKC,UKC,or WKC??????? Do you know that they do not inspect at all. Nor do they check to see if the dogs are related!!!!!! Do you know that they will register a yorkie-poo?? I was just wondering if you actually did your research!!!! By the way , my pediatrician does not even give a health quarantee on my child, not even one day!!!! ARE YOU INSANE?? You should not give advice to strangers when you are only speculating a subject that you have not fully explored!!!! Who are you to say where someone should buy a dog????
