AKC Registration;
What is the difference

when
purchasing your GSD Puppy?


Limited vs. Full Registration



   Limited Registration

  • A Puppy which is purchased from the breeder with Limited Registration through AKC allows the buyer
     to apply for an AKC Registration Certificate for that puppy, stating that the pup
    is of purebred parents
    who were Fully Registered through AKC. 

     Your new puppy's AKC Application for Registration must be supplied to you
    by the breeder
    when you purchase your pup. 


    Limited Registration status does not come with future Breeding Rights through AKC
    for the puppy you are purchasing, and AKC will not register any future offspring
    produced from
    either or both parents
    who are AKC Registered with
    Limited Registration Status. 
    NOTE:
    If you are not a serious and dedicated breeder who is purchasing your pup
    for the purpose of breeding, showing or titling the dog, 
    we recommend that that they be
    neutered at the appropriate age...
    (See article on HD and the role sex hormones play in bone development)
    for the health and safety of your dog
    .

    Each year there are far too many unwanted animals produced through accidental matings.
    Additionally, It has been documented that females who are never spayed
      even though they have never produced a litter of pups,
    are more prone to suffer from Cancer of the Reproductive Organs (Uterus, Ovaries,
    Mammary Glands and Breast Tissue) in their middle and later years, if they are left intact. 

     It is a misconception that females are "better off if allowed to produce one litter
    before they are spayed"... Evidence is lacking to support this notion,
    and in fact the opposite has proven to be beneficial for the overall
    health and longevity of your female. 
    For many of the large breeds, having her spayed just after her first heat cycle
    is more beneficial and is most often best done at 12-13 months of age or later. 
    This will vary with each dog. 
    There are many compelling reasons to wait until  at least a year of age to spay your female..

    The sex hormones are responsible for dictating many of the natural occurrences necessary
     for proper development in these large growing breeds;

    If you are purchasing your dog for
    breeding purposes,  
    Full Registration will be necessary.


              Full Registration
     
    • A Puppy which is purchased from the breeder with Full Registration through AKC allows the buyer to apply for an AKC Registration Certificate for that puppy,
      stating that the
      pup is of purebred parents
      who were
      also registered with
      Full Registration through AKC. 

       Your new puppy's AKC Application for Registration must be supplied to you
      by the breeder
      when you purchase your pup. 


       
      Full Registration status gives the buyer future applicable breeding rights through AKC,
      provided that all other criteria required by AKC
      for breeding and registration has been met;
      Then, assuming that all purchase terms with your breeder have been met,
      AKC will then allow you to register future offspring which are
      produced from two parents who are AKC Registered with
      Full Registration Status.
       

    •  Full registration Status is required for buyers who wish to obtain future working Show or Breed Survey Ratings when competing in Schutzhund with their dogs,
      or who plan to participate in the
      AKC Breed Competition show ring
      as well as many additional working and AKC categories.

    • Currently, dogs who are spayed or neutered can also compete in AKC competition events
      such as agility, flyball, obedience etc. along with trialing in Schutzhund events with
      Limited
      Registration
      status. 
      These animals cannot be shown or breed surveyed.
