Thank you...Maximus is AKC, but I never sent in the paperwork because I wasn't planning on showing him or breeding him...he is just my pet and I don't expect anything else....but I was wondering what the "big" deal was with all the registry's because there are so many....do you suggest registering just in case or is unneccessary if the pup is to be neutered?...I already have a copy of his pedigree...just he isn't included yet
