It really has nothing to do with registries...at least not the point I was trying to make...
I DO understand and agree with your point in concerning that though.
In this instance it has nothing to do with being able to re-register a dog w/ limited registration....more so that point that it seems few are restricting breeding rights to begin with. Evident by the fact that it seems to be an unheard of concept with most people. Almost equally as disturbing that potential owners don't see it as a huge red flag if a breeder doesn't require it.
IMO, not placing a dog in a home where it will be bred is not a responsibility that can be left up to marking a box on a piece of paper, regardless of what registry it is. Nor should it be. So that is an irrelevant point. A breeder has to step up and take whatever precautions neccessary within their power to make sure that the no-breeding agreement is held up on both ends...be it iron clad contract requiring proof of s/n or s/n before placing the pup. It's not easy or even a possibility in some situations, but if you're not even trying to begin with...
