A representative is elected every minute to exercise their representative power, but only the Dog Club can become an AKC member. These representatives constitute the legislative body of the AKC. They formulate the movement's guidelines and elect 21 directors.
Directors control the AKC, recommend AKC officials and develop policies and guidelines based on criteria determined by representatives. The AKC organization is divided into the headquarters in New York and the preparation and implementation department in the capital of North Carolina. All registration and filing functions are controlled by the State of North Carolina.
AKC records the parentage status of more than 1.3 million dogs every year, but it is not involved in the dog trade and therefore fails to protect the health and breed quality of registered dogs. Some employees, including AKC site representatives and dog inspectors, perform field work and regularly return to headquarters to report to their local department supervisors. The function of AKC
