LIMITED versus FULL REGISTRATION

The American Kennel Club has two ways of registering AKC puppies.  One way is with full registration and the other is with limited registration.  The difference is so responsible Breeders can protect their genetic line and control which of their puppies are able to be bred.  Either way, the puppies will have official AKC registration papers.  Limited registration is fine for people wanting a family pet who do not wish to show or breed their dogs. The dogs are still valuable members of the AKC.  Click HERE to go to AKC's website to read their explanation of Limited Registration. 

AKC Limited Registration -  Dog can participate in licensed breed events such as Obedience, Tracking, Field Trials, Hunting Tests, Herding, Lure Coursing, Agility and Earth Dog, but is ineligible to participate in an AKC licensed breed competition or member dog show (beauty show).  No puppies produced by a dog with Limited Registration shall be eligible for AKC registration.

AKC Full Registration -  Dog may participate in any AKC sponsored event.  Puppies produced by two dogs fully registered with the AKC are eligible for AKC registration.

As with many quality breeders, it is Bullis Lake's policy that anyone purchasing a full registration puppy must have "Bullis Lake's" as the first two words of the dog's AKC Registered name.  If you look at Autumn's pedigree,  almost always the first name of her ancestral dogs is the name of a breeder.  "Bullis Lake's" will already be filled in on the AKC Registration form when you receive it with your full registration puppy.  This just indicates the dog was bred at Bullis Lake Labradors.
