Review:
PROS:
- You can advertise your grooming services and list your purebreds for sale on the AKC Marketplace
- The American Kennel Club provides information and support to breeders about health issues, places to get products for puppies, and where you can find a dog show or trainer.
- There are listings for dog boarding and walking; services are through a partnership with Rover.
Although advertising elsewhere could be cheaper, the AKC endorsement provides a valuable stamp of approval for puppies, and you are more likely to find serious buyers willing to pay real money for your breed.
