Any breeder with 'continuously' available pups is NOT a responsible breeder. They are a puppy mill, plain and simple.
AKC does NOT register breeders, just dogs. They do sometimes register kennel names, but they don't do any checks on dogs or the situations they live in. AKC assumes that all breeders sending in paperwork are being honest unless they are notified otherwise.
And no AKC pup is a 'special AKC' pup. The AKC registration simply means that the parentage of the dog goes back to when the breed first was acknowledged by AKC, with all ancestors of the pup being registered.
Simply being registered with AKC doesn't mean quality. It doesn't mean the pup is a quality representative of the breed. It doesn't mean the pup is genetically sound, will be of good temperament, will display the proper tendancies of the breed. It just means all the parents/grandparents/etc. were also registered with AKC.
Sometimes a bad pup is delivered to registered parents that shouldn't be bred. Should that AKC registered pup be bred, the resulting offspring might take on the negative characteristics (bad hips, bad eyes, bad elbows, bad temperament, etc.) of the poor quality parent. And that pup might be bred to another poor specimen.
Thus, you have an AKC registered, purebred dog with bad hips, who snaps at anything that moves, who can't see, and so on.
AKC is NOT the be-all, end-all of quality breeding. It is important, but you have to be able to trust the breeder.
The bottom line in the situation you describe is to avoid any place with such claims. Put the word out to family, friends and co-workers to avoid them as well.
This place is a puppy mill. They consider dogs, 'Man's best friend', to be nothing better than chickens or cows, to live in tiny cages, producing endless offspring.
GRRRR!!!

As usual I have to agree with DaBassett Although getting the puppy for free may seem like a good deal there are so many variables for your paying for everything and their kennel getting the glory from your hard work and money spent. I also see no provisions if the pup does not end up being show quality as when a pup is evaluated for potential it is not a guarantee that the pup that seems to be show quality will actually as an adult have grown to the standard, what if you can not financially afford to show the pup for any reason? Showing is fun but can be very expensive to say the least. Before making any decision it would be best to be careful and research the breeder, exhibitor completely. I would also recommend searching for anyone who may already have done this puppy program and see exactly what their experience has been. I would also call agencies and make sure that no complaints have been filed against them.

I don't believe the ones that have a steady stream of puppies all year round. There's no way they could all live inside their house and have the love and attention they deserve. The best way to know who you're dealing with is to go to the breeders house and see how they're looked after. I know that's not always possible though. Unfortunately, there are a lot of back yard breeders out there that seem deceptively sweet and caring on their websites. You need to ask the right questions before you buy so you don't accidently support a puppymill or BYB.

The best way to ensure that you are getting a "good quality dog" is to find the local clubs of the type of dogs in your area and check for a breeder there. most "puppy mills" will have no part of a real kennel club and the breeders there truly care about their dogs and the breed.

It depends on the breeder. Most of the breeders I know have their puppies inside the house. And some of them have very elaborate websites as well.

Anyone who has puppies available "continuously" is to be avoided. Serious breeders have a very few, carefully planned litters.

Depends on the size of the dog. My aunt was an AKC breeder (don't know if she's into it anymore). She bred Chiuhuahuas and was single, he whole house was devoted to them. they had their special playgroups, rotations to go outside, bedtimes bathtimes feedingtimes... she never had less than 20 full-grown dogs and spent HOURS playing with them every day...
Odds are, the ones who won't say are BYB, not AKC.
