| SPAY/NEUTER, AND REGISTRATION STATUS: The buyer, in the interest of maintaining quality in the Labrador breed, agrees to the following: In the interests of protecting the Labrador breed and not contributing unnecessarily to the problem of pet overpopulation, the breeder is selling this puppy on AKC Limited Registration. AKC Limited Registration means that this dog is registered but no litters produced by the dog are eligible for AKC Registration. This puppy is sold as a Family Pet and must be spayed/neutered by or at (6) six months of age at your expense by your veterinarian. |
| The American Kennel Club has always recognized the role of the responsible breeder in preserving the integrity of its registry and the quality of the purebred dog in this country. Dogs with Limited Registration privileges are allowed to compete in all AKC Companion and Performance events, but not in Conformation events (dog shows). Additionally, no puppies produced by a dog with Limited Registration are eligible for AKC registration. The choice to register a dog with Full or Limited privileges is solely in the hands of the dog's breeder. The breeder indicates the Full or Limited designation by completing a section of the dog's individual registration application. The breeder's designation is entered into the AKC registration system along with the dog's name, sex, color, and number, and becomes part of the dog's permanent registration record. If the dog is entered in an AKC event, or if it appears as a sire or a dam on a litter application, it is checked for eligibility against its Full or Limited Registration status. |
| Owners should know that the Limited Registration status has no bearing on a dog's potential to be an excellent representative of its breed, a wonderful pet, and a standout participant in most AKC events. In fact, having a "Limited" dog can be very liberating, as owners don't have to wrestle with the question "to breed or not to breed"-that decision is made by the breeder when the Limited option is indicated on the registration application. Dogs with Limited Registration can compete in every AKC event except Conformation (because the latter is an evaluation of breeding stock). These include the Companion Events--Obedience, Rally, Agility and Tracking--which are open to all breeds, and the Performance Events--Field Trials, Hunting, Lure Coursing, Herding, Earthdog and Coonhound--which are open to specific breeds only. Training for and participating in these events promotes a special bond between dogs and owners. Together, dogs and owners learn new skills, spend quality time together, and--who knows?--may even achieve great success in their chosen sport. When it comes to being a great competitor or just a lifelong friend, a dog with Limited Registration has no limits at all. |
