> What does Limited Registration mean?? Hi Susie, AKC Limited Registration means that were you to breed that dog or bitch, the puppies couldn't be registered with AKC. A dog or bitch with limited registration also cannot be shown in AKC conformation (aka: breed) competition. But they CAN do do everything else; obedience, agility, tracking, draft, therapy, foot warming, etc. The reason breeders use the Limited Registration is to discourage random breeding of pups after they're sold. Responsible breeders select only those dogs that best exemplify the breed standard, and have correct temperament, and have a full set of health clearances/evaluations, to contribute to the gene pool. > My husband and I are PPOs and trying to learn as much as possible. THANK YOU-THANK YOU-THANK YOU! :-D I know it's easier to just go with the flow than try to learn a foreign language like dog-talk. But you and the breed will both benefit from taking the time to learn the ins and outs. KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS!!! I'm sure there are lots of people online who want to know the same things, but are unsure about asking. -Sherri Venditti (2 berners on limited registration and 1 on full)
