My registration has also dropped off in the last year. I'm not sure of the reasons. I do really think the comments so far are quite interesting, as those are the same as I hear from my buyers. On one hand, I do understand since it is an added expense and most buy AKC to insure quality as opposed to really caring about registering the dog itself. I have thought about registering entire litters, but I think that will end up basically the same as new owners probably wouldn't transfer. I can't see paying to register the litter, the extra expense of registering each puppy in my name and then the expense to transferee to new owner.

I've had oh so much fun lately as my kennel flooded during Hurricane Ike and all paperwork in the bottom drawer of my file cabinet turned to mush. I've had to go through record recovery with AKC and it has been a long process. It may take several more months to get everything in order....
