The inbreeding that goes on with AKC show breeders is something I do know about and I find it disgusting and alarming. Some people try to go to a "reputable" AKC breeder in order to get a quality dog of a particular breed, probably not realizing how polluted the bloodlines often are, though I believe some breeds are worse than others, and again not all breeders participate in inbreeding.

That issue is definitely something I feel needs to be regulated...I don't understand why they just don't disallow inbred dogs to be registered and shown. At least then "AKC registered such and such" would mean something..

But then this is a whole different issue and really doesn't pertain to this thread's topic.
