I've been reading with great interest involving limited AKC reg.

It has been stated in here a few times that a reputable breeder will limit the reg. of a pet quality puppy. After inquiring with 25 breeders that sell their puppies with a limited reg. all 25 of these breeders are willing to lift the limited reg. for anywhere between 100-400 more. Are these breeders still considered reputable or rip offs?

Answers:

Selling on Limited Registration does not automatically make a breeder "reputable". Many ethical breeders use it, but there's much more to it!

If these people were willing to lift the Limited Reg. for more money, I wouldn't consider them reputable. That's kinda not what it's about.

ADDED: You are correct. Someone with a dog with AKC Limited Reg could breed it and register the puppies with a crap registry such as the ConKC if they felt compelled to do so. This is why many breeders also use a spay/neuter contract (correctly written and enforceable), also offer "rebates" on the dog's purchase price with proof of spay or neuter (personally, I give $50 back to the buyer to help offset the surgery cost), and keep in contact with their puppy people to ensure that the spay/neuter is done at the proper age.


NO. I sold all my pups on limited registrations. I didn't care who offered me more money the answer was always no.

I sold all my pups with a limited registration for one main reason to deter anyone from breeding them with another dog. I also wanted no one to say that their dogs was from my line if they had major health problems with them breeding with an dog of lesser quality. By placing a limited registration on the pups I knew if they did breed one of my pups then they could never AKC register the litter. As a former breeder I felt it was my responsibility to make sure that any way I could deter people from having just one litter than so be it. I also had a spray and neuter contract with all of my pups. I could only rely on the pups owners honesty for that.
