| question about registration papers I was just wondering what are the differences between the various dog registries (AKC, APRI etc.) CAsh came with papers and is registered with APRI. Can I get him registered with AKC? I was just wondering if there is such a thing as one registry being better than another. I know that some of the posts here onthe forum has suggested that the AKC will sometimes register mix breeds as pure breeds. and it seems that most of the time when members of this forum speak of papers, they're talking about AKC. I guess it doesn't really matter in my case as I do not plan on breeding Cash (in fact, i know nothing about breeding) but i guess any answer will serve to satisfy my curiosity. oh, and also, when i bought cash, he already had a microchip. is there some kind of procedure i need to take to transfer the registered microchip number from the breeder's info to mine? THANX!!

| Well in searching the difference, don't forget your question about the microchip! I'm sure there is something you need to do, but I have no experience in microchip. |

| I had two of my littermates chipped yesterday. They came with a certificate that included a transfer form. The chip had to be activated by paying a fee to the service first. You'll need to check with your breeder. They may or may not have mailed in the paperwork. If not, she should have it to give to you. |

| I'm not sure if this was answered in the AKC vs. ACA thread, but I'll reanswer it if it has. If your dog is registared APR you can not get it dual registared with AKC; however, if your dog is registared AKC you can get it dual registared with APR. Some people are very strong on their thoughts about different registaries. However, if you love your dog that is all that matters, especially since you are not breeding him. Roxi is reg APR and she looks more "Yorkie" than a lot of Yorkies I've seen that are registared AKC. There are good and bads of all registaries. And there are good quality and poor quality dogs in all registaries. Good luck with your new baby.

| Thanx! I'll check with his breeder about the microchip since the materials she gave me made no mention about a microchip.
