What does it mean when a dog is APRI registered?

What is the difference between AKC and APRI registration?

NO. Both parents MUST be FULL registered AKC registered. APRI is a puppy mill registry. So is ACA,CKC(Continental not Canadian) all these are PUPPY MILL REGISTRIES.
Can you register merle dogs?
The Kennel Club has announced that it will no longer accept registration applications for merle-coloured dogs in breeds where there is no documented evidence of the colour having been well established over a sustained period. In some breeds, the effect of the merle allele (M ) is termed ‘dapple’.
Why are merle dogs more expensive?
Why are merle dogs so expensive? In a nutshell, merle dogs are expensive because puppy buyers are willing to pay a lot of money for them. The pattern is very sought-after, and the more demand there is, the higher breeders can set their prices. In addition, merle breedings can be quite rare in some breeds.

Is there a registry for a Merle Schnauzer?

Is a Merle Schnoodle the best choice for me?
