Grand River Poodles: AKC Registration

The AKC has two different options for registration of our pure bred toy poodles. The breeder and the buyer will decide which shall be used.

Below is an explanation of the difference between the two, Limited vs. Open. 

The First option:  

 LIMITED AKC REGISTRATION for your pet puppy ownership

• With Limited AKC papers, your puppy is eligible and encouraged to be AKC registered and receive benefits as a purebred puppy.
• With limited registration the permission is NOT GIVEN by breeder and the AKC for anyone to exhibit the puppy in shows.
• Limited registration does not give allowance to breed/ reproduce the puppy at any age or any reason.
  

The Second option: 

OPEN AKC REGISTRATION

• We and the AKC allow and encourage the puppy to enter competition in the show ring and obtain a Championship, Good Citizen Award, Become a competitor in agility with the AKC and or become a Service Canine and possibly even breed him/her.
• There is an additional fee and responsibility to obtain Open Registration.
• With such permission a person may breed our blood lines/the puppy you obtained from us.
• We offer this option to select approved individuals only. We will require proof of your quality breeding program.
• Other show and breeding options may be made available as partial ownership when the puppy goes directly to the handler.
• We reserve the right to deny anyone or a group OPEN REGISTRATION. (Permission as explained to show and/or reproduce)
• We feel it is all in the best interest and protection of our puppies and in an effort to not support unscrupulous breeders.
  

The AKC welcomes our toy poodle puppies to be registered with them

More information: 

• With either type of registration we, the breeder/seller, will aid you in the online registration before you leave our home  We do not insist you register your puppy with the AKC.
• It is certainly your choice if you do not want to register the puppy when the puppy is to be a loving pet.
• There is a minimal fee charged by the AKC, not the breeder/seller to register either for Limited or Open Registration.
• As the breeder/litter owner of your puppy, we have already registered the litter of puppies with the AKC.
• You will receive what is referred to by the AKC as their "puppy application".
• We, the breeder will fill out our part of the puppy application and sign ownership of your puppy over to you.
• This is when you decide if you would like us to assist you at that time to register the puppy on line while at our home.
• Whether you register on line or regular mail, if you offer an e-mail the AKC will send you specials.
