I'm wondering though, would we get a extra inspection from the AKC to find out why so few of our pups end up registered? If the AKC does do the USDA inspections it sure opens the way for them to be vindictive of us. SueT If the AKC retaliates, they would lose even more money. If they are vindictive, they will definitely lose money...they better play nice. . I will go UKC in a heartbeat.
