In my opinion, the average puppy buyer knows nothing about an AKC website, and the first and probably only place they will go to find an advertisement is to a newspaper. Then they will probably go to a pet store and ask if they know of any Cavalier puppies for sale. And then if a friend knows of a puppy broker, etc., they fall into their hands. It may sound strange to some of you who have been involved with dogs for so long, but the average Joe out there is not well informed about AKC or any other dog club. This is just my opinion.
