XII. LIMITED REGISTRATIONAKC registration application forms provide the optionfor registering dogs with limited registration. Limitedregistration means that litters produced by the dog arenot eligible for AKC registration. The dog is eligibleto compete in all AKC-licensed events except breedcompetition at an AKC-licensed dog show.The decision as to the registration status of adog is the responsibility of the litter owner(s). Thelitter owner(s) must indicate whether the dog is tobe registered as limited, in the appropriate space onthe dog application. If limited is not indicated, fullregistration will be assigned.Limited registration can be designated at the time thedog is individually registered or during the first transferof a dog, provided the dog was registered initially bythe litter owner(s) through the Full Litter Registrationprocess. The limited designation may be removed uponthe written permission of the litter owner(s) and uponsubmission of a form for that purpose, which is availablefrom the AKC, and the required fee.The decision as to whether or not a dog will beregistered with limited registration is left solely to thelitter owner(s). Limited registration is a tool with whichthe litter owner(s) can protect their breeding program.We would strongly recommend that if a dog is being soldwith limited registration that the litter owner(s) makethis condition clear to the potential dog buyer(s) so thatthere is no confusion about the terms under which thedog was purchased. If breeders provide a written billof sale in addition to the registration application form,we would urge that the bill of sale include the fact thatthe dog is being sold with limited registration and thatthe buyer acknowledges in writing that the dog is beingaccepted with that condition.For Online Dog Registration: If the limitedregistration box on your application is not darkened (youcan see a 3-digit Full Registration Code in the box), yourdog is eligible for full registration.“The term ‘owner(s)’ in this section means all of theowners of the litter at birth. Thus, all owners of the littermust agree to both the imposition and the removal of thelimited designation. If the owners disagree on whetherthere shall be full or limited registration, in the absence ofany written agreement to the contrary, the dog will receivefull registration.”XIII.
