You can also look them up by registration number. If they're registered they are there. Registered dogs, even pets, don't just mysteriously drop off the list for any reason. The only reason a dog might not be found with the registration number is if the owner and all their dogs have been suspended from AKC.

AKC keeps those records in order to provide pedigrees and other information that is constantly requested from them. They are available to anyone with a computer or even by mail and telephone.
