Read up a little. The AKC is in the business of taking money from breeders for "papers" purporting to certify dogs as "purebred".

So exactly how many dog lists are you on/have you been on?

And exactly how are they supposed to verify EVERY puppy that is registered each year? The only thing that prevents corruption of ANY organization is grassroots effort. That doesn't make the AKC responsible for every puppy miller that is out there.

They're certainly responsible for continuing to sell papers to people who they KNOW are puppy millers (which they do routinely). And they're also responsible for continuing to promulgate breed "standards" after those standards have been clearly shown to be injurious to the dogs.
