The parent club pays for an AKC report on each dog that lists EVERY litter, how many of that litter were born, and how many were registered. Which is another great tool to use. That is why every year I beg the top 20 owners to please submit their AKC authorization forms so I can get permission from AKC to release this information to Red Book readers.
