What is the difference between “Limited” AKC and “Full” AKC papers?
“Limited” AKC is for a pet. You will get an AKC paper, but if that dog–male or female–is ever bred, you cannot register the puppies. Usually a spay/neuter agreement is signed and papers held until proof is shown. Sometimes, not always, “limited” AKC is put on a puppy because of a slight problem, hernia, overbite, underbite, something that could possibly be passed on if that dog were bred. “Full” AKC is needed for breeding or showing your dog. “Full” AKC registration usually costs more than “limited”, which helps the “Pet” people not pay as much as a breeder or show person would pay for the same puppy.
