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.
