APR is a puppy-mill registry - the dogs that cannot be AKC registered. "American Pet Registry"... why don't you give me the $20 and I will make you a pretty pedigree, complete with "champion" parents!
It's BullPoo.

APR - American Purebred Registry which means absolutely nothing except that they will take your word for what ever you choose to tell them as long as the money is good. If the money is good you will get some meaningless papers. It is what mass producers of puppies use so they do not have to comply with the strictor AKC requirements. They advertise as "registered" puppies and the general public hasn't a clue.
APRI is American Pet Registry, Inc. It also means nothing except they will take your money and issue you some papers.
AKC is a registry founded to track the heritage of purebred dogs. AKC does not guarantee quality as it is strictly a registry to maintain pedigrees and promote the purebred dogs by governing performance as well as conformation shows in which AKC registered dogs are able to compete. AKC does have programs in place to guarantee the purity of the pedigrees it maintains.

APR is America's Pet Registry. It is a registration place with very loose standards. They will register a dog with "known" parents, but no documentation. Which pretty much means you can say you bred two schnauzers, but really your female was covered by the neighbors terrier, and you can still sell your dogs as "pure-bred."

The letters stand for American Pet Registry.
This registration isn't worth the paper its printed on.
Often used by puppy mills, people with unregistered dogs, or in some cases by people breeding designer dogs.
Stear clear from someone using this registry.

America's Pet Registry.
A worthless registry used by puppymills and BYBs. The "papers" mean nothing.
