The American Kennel Club is the only legit organization out there for the registration of purebred dogs.
People make up other registries such as the Continential Kennel Club but they are just a junk dog registry. Puppy mill breeders use these quite often because they either get into trouble with the AKC about not keeping sufficient records or their animals are simply not purebred.
If there is a registry out there called the american kennel association, it would be on the same level as the other junk ones out there.

The American Kennel Club (AKC) was established in 1884 to promote the study, breeding, exhibiting and advancement of purebred dogs. It is the largest not-for-profit purebred dog registry in the nation.
AKC approves and maintains the official records of over 15,000 sanctioned and licensed events each year. These events, which draw nearly two million entries annually, include dog shows, field trials, obedience trials, lure coursing, hunting tests, herding trials, tracking and coonhound events.
The AKC has approximately 500 member clubs and over 5,000 affiliated clubs. These clubs are more than show giving entities. They are public service, educational organizations whose activities benefit their entire community. Some AKC club activities include public education through school presentations fairs, libraries, shelters, hospitals, rescue leagues, scouts and 4-H training classes.
AKC registration means a dog, its parents, and its ancestors are purebred, but it does not indicate health or quality. Dogs registered with the AKC can have their offspring registered, compete in AKC events, and use AKC's full line of education and information services.

The American Kennel Club is dedicated to upholding the integrity of its Registry, promoting the sport of purebred dogs and breeding for type and function. Founded in 1884, the AKC® and its affiliated organizations advocate for the purebred dog as a family companion, advance canine health and well-being, work to protect the rights of all dog owners and promote responsible dog ownership.

AKC(possibly???)...they are one of the groups with whom you register your purebred dog through, especially if you plan to breed your dog, and if that is who your dog's parents are registered with. The American Kennel Club has been around the longest. My rottweiler, and his entire lineage is registered through the AKC. You can also locate breeders, and find out many things about the breed you are interested in. If yu want a good breed do not look for ABA, or anything other than AKC.

The other white meat. It is like AKC but they are not as strict in registering dogs.
