| AKC Registration? My husband and I just got our new yorkie pup Jameson 2 weeks ago and I am more in love than I ever thought I could be, but that's besides the point. We got Jameson from a breeder that was referred to us by a friend. He came with all his paperwork (health certificate, immunization records, pedigree information and a form for AKC registration). I'm a first time dog/yorkie owner and am not too familiar with AKC (American Kennel Club). I guess he was registered with the breeder and the registration will be transferred to me for a small fee of around $20. I was just wondering if anyone has registered their pups with AKC and if it's worth it? What are the benefits if any? Thanks in advance for your help and advice. |

| my magic is registered with the akc. he also has the home again micro chip which is registered with the akc who has a country wide computer system in case he gets lost. as long as whoever has him calls the 1-800 number on his tag and tells them the number on the tag they will know right away who he belongs to. a vet could also scan him and call and then know he was stolen. there are many benefits to belonging to akc. maybe mostly if you want to breed or show your dog. i just have always registered my dogs and for the small fee why not. it also allows them to know about how many dogs of all the different breeds are out there. |

| Welcome to YT. Unless you plan to breed or do performance events, such as agility or obedience with your puppy, I don't think it really matters. It does cost more to register him if you do it after a year.
