Yes, you can breed an AKC-registered male to an APRA-registered female; however, the resulting puppies would not be eligible for AKC registration.

Why does sociology have such a bad reputation?
I didn't know it had but if it does it's probably because society doesn't like individuals having any information more than society itself knows or wants to know
sociology is a very informative, interesting and useful field and anyone who doesn't like it is probably scared to think of themselves as part of a 'hive mind' instead of the individual they consider themselves to be
and usually don't realise that they are already thinking as part of a hive mind because so many other people feel the same way and think the same thing and that's why we have sociology, to distinguish the difference and understand it.
_____
There is a widespread view that sociology lacks academic rigour and that it is often subjective, speculative and pretentious; that it doesn't demand high standards of itself. In sociology there are many examples of incredibly shoddy research.

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.

What purpose does the American Kennel Club serve?
The American Kennel Club
(or AKC
) is a registry of purebred dog pedigrees in the United States. Beyond maintaining its pedigree registry, this kennel club also promotes events for purebred dogs, including the Westminster Kennel Club
Dog Show, an annual event which predates the official forming of the AKC, and the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship. The AKC is not part of the International Canine Organisation, Fédération Cynologique Internationale, as most other countries' kennel clubs are.
In order to register a dog with the AKC you must first have papers from the breeder showing the litter was registered with the AKC. The breeder obtains these papers by submitting a report of puppies born of two AKC registered parents. If either parent is not AKC registered, then the puppies cannot be AKC registered in the normal way.
However, any purebred dog of a breed recognized by the AKC can be registered on an indefinite listing privilege if the animal is first spayed or neutered and an application with fees and required photographs is submitted to the AKC. Such animals cannot (obviously) be used for breeding nor shown in conformation, but they can compete in trials like obedience, herding, gun dog, tracking, and agility.

What is the difference between AKC and NKC?
The AKC does NOT register American Bulldogs. The American Bulldog is not a mixed breed and can be registered with both the NKC (national kennel club) and UKC (United Kennel Club).
It is not recognized by the AKC for several reasons including the fact that the breed's original Breed club the ABA (American Bulldog Association) as well as many other AB fanciers are firmly against AKC recognition. Many are afraid that recognition by the American Kennel Club will be detrimental to the breeds working heritage; one look at AKC German Shepherd Dogs will give you the reason behind this fear.
There are two varieties of the American Bulldog: the standard and the bully. The NKC, which is the third oldest All Breed Registry in the United States, recognizes the two standards as two varieties of the same breed. This is similar to the AKC Beagle standard which has two varieties, the 13" and the 15", of the same breed. At NKC sanctioned conformation events the Standard dogs are shown separately from the Bullies until the Best in Show. United Kennel Club only recognizes one variety of the standard which is often referred to as the Hybrid Standard (a blend of the standard and bully).
AKC stands for the American Kennel Club. They decide which dog breeds are official and which ones are not.
How do you register puppies with ukci sire and akc dam?

Why is your dog sitting in a corner facing the wall?
Dogs can sit and stare at you for many reasons. The obvios one is that they want you attention the difficult part is figuring out why. The dog might just want affection, maybe it needs to go out and use the bathroom, the water bowl might be empty or as my dogs do a few minutes before feeding time. Or the dog is staring at you because he think he is alpha over you...you have to keep looking at them until they stop staring and look away and put their head down.
