So please tell us why is it important to register our dogs. |
I understand all your reason(s) except this one....and I probably am being dense here, but it isn't the new owner registering the pups that causes the litter to be counted (like for the AKC frequently used sire DNA requirements). It is the breeder's registering of the litter. Do you mean that if buyers want registration, then breeders are more likely to register the litters? Not trying to be picky, I just don't understand what you mean.
