Breed Rescue Groups
These contacts can assist you with information about purebred rescue. If you are interested in breeder referral information, please go to our Breeder Search page. National Club rescue contacts are also listed in the results of a Breeder Search.
Another option, after trying the AKC Parent Club Breeder Referral, is to search for a local breeder with AKC-registrable puppies available now through our new service, Online Breeder Classifieds. Remember to visit the AKC Parent Club Web site or contact the AKC Parent Club Breeder Referral of the breed you are interested in purchasing. AKC Parent Clubs represent a wealth of breed knowledge and are an invaluable resource for prospective puppy buyers.
