Why would a dog have limited AKC registration?
Limited Registration helps breeders protect their breeding programs. If breeders do not want puppies used for breeding purposes, they can request the option for those puppies.
What does limited registration AKC mean?
They will often be sold on a limited registration, which means they can participate in all AKC events except conformation (the 50-cent word for dog shows), and their offspring cannot be registered.
What is the difference between limited and full registration for dogs?
Limited Registration helps breeders protect their breeding programs. If breeders do not want puppies used for breeding purposes, they can request the Limited Registration option for those puppies. Full registration gives the new owner full breeding rights of the puppy.
What happens if you breed a dog without breeding rights?
With no breeding rights, puppies won’t be able to be registered later with the kennel club of choice. The Animal Welfare Act was created to protect the wellbeing of dogs, and therefore, as a responsible and ethical breeder, it is important to follow its rules, obligations, and laws.
