From www.akc.org --
"The American Kennel Club believes that breeding programs should be undertaken responsibly for the purpose of preserving breed characteristics and producing healthy, well-socialized puppies. Responsible breeders are expected to give careful consideration to health issues, temperament, and genetic screening, as well as to the individual care and placement of puppies in responsible homes. AKC supports and promotes these and other responsible breeding practices through breeders' education programs, and commends those who offer similar guidance.
"The AKC strongly opposes the breeding of dogs by those who do so without regard for the dogs' welfare. We support scrupulous enforcement of the federal Animal Welfare Act, and state and local regulations governing the humane care of animals. We further believe that USDA and other enforcement agencies should be given appropriate resources to ensure that regulations are met.
"In addition, the AKC Investigations and Inspections department conducts more than 4,000 kennel inspections each year. When AKC inspectors find kennels that do not meet our minimum care and conditions requirements, they educate and encourage those breeders to raise their standards or face suspension of their AKC registration privileges. Proper authorities are also alerted to any cases of animal neglect."
What else can I help you with?
Are ckc dogs guaranteed to not come from a puppy mills?
Absolutely no! Anyone can breed a dog with CKC papers, just like with AKC papers. It is up to you the potential puppy buyer to check out the person you are purchasing a puppy from. Do NOT buy from pet shops as most get their pups from puppy mills. Purchase a pup from a ethical breeder or adopt one from your local Animal Shelter or Pound.
Can puppies from an AKC sire and an ACA dam be registered with AKC?
No the AKC will not recognize the puppies as AKC. Both parents have to be AKC. Ive been breeding and showing in the AKC over 30 years. They will however let you put them under a restrained condition. Best bet is to call the AKC and ask them what they can do. Just a FYI- The ACA (american canine association) does not require DNA testing and inspecting of breeders which is why many puppy mills use this registry so be careful that your ACA dog is in fact Pure Breed with a DNA test.
Is the American kennel club a puppy mill?
No. The American Kennel Club (AKC) is a registry of purebred dog pedigrees in the United States (in addition to promoting events, like dog shows, for purebred dogs, but that's irrelevant to the question). To register with the AKC, an owner needs to show the dog's parents were registered as a purebred breed (recognized by the AKC). The AKC isn't a puppy mill because it is not involved at all with the actual breeding of dogs. Note that there has been some criticism of the AKC, as a registered dog is no sign whatsoever of dog health or any sort of strong bloodline. AKC registered dogs often still possess genetic diseases since the AKC does not required any sort of health screening for a dog to be registered. Therefore puppy mill dogs can often still be registered with the AKC, and "fool" uninformed consumers. The AKC is not a puppy mill itself, but note that a piece of paper signifying a dog is registered with the AKC is not a sign the dog didn't originally come from a puppy mill.
