What is AKC registration and what does it mean?
AKC stands for the American Kennel Club. It is a organization created to register purebred dogs. In order for a puppy to be AKC registered the only qualification it needs is for its parents to be AKC registed or registered by a comparable organization in another country. “AKC registered puppies” do NOT mean the puppies are healthy, correct in conformation, have good tempements, come from good lines etc etc. Do not be fooled!!! If you want a puppy with good qualities you need to look for MORE than AKC registration. Local Weimaraner Clubs are a good place to start. Most weimaraner clubs can give you a list of reputable breeders that belongs to his or her parent club, who exhibits his or her dogs to ensure that they continue to conform to the standards of the parent club, and who performs genetic testing such as OFA certification on their dogs.
