The AKC was actually at one point going to "team-up" with Petland (a puppy store who gets their puppies from millers and brokers). There was a mass amount of emails and letters into the AKC about how outraged its members and others were. They eventually pulled out of the deal.
I cringe every time I am at a pet store and they say a dog is AKC... most commonly now though they are "bragging" up the Continential Kennel Club (CKC) who in my opinion is hiding behind the Canadian Kennel Clubs letters to try and look good... just take a look at the Contiential website and I think you will be less than impressed at what it takes to get a dog registered... just money... blech!

BUT -- they euthanize over 80% of the animals put in their "loving" care. They are also behind all the new legislation to make getting pets more difficult.
The comic book they hand to young children has a picture of a woman with a huge, bloody knife-- positioned over a frantic rabbit. Caption reads"YOUR mom kills animals". They hand these out to young kids.
