Why I Cringe When Someone Asks If My Dogs Are AKC Registered

When someone asks if my dogs are AKC registered, I cringe a little inside. The answer is yes, they are. But the only reason I bother with AKC registration is because many people mistakenly believe it signifies a well-bred dog. In reality, I'd prefer not to support the AKC at all. The public has been led to believe that an AKC registration means a dog is of superior quality and well-bred. However, this is far from the truth.
