I have 2 yorkies--I wasn't going to register either one of them. I paid $1200 for the 1st one, my husband told me that you didn't pay 1200 bucks for her, to not register her.(Even though, she was spayed and over a year when I did the registration). My other baby I got for free, I had her spayed about 2 weeks ago--and have decided that I am not wasting the money to register her(being that she was free, my hubby didn't care either way). I have her paper from the breeder, so I will store that with my other baby's AKC paperwork. Money is tight right now, so the $32 it would have cost to register her-I put toward getting her microchipped.

Also, It would be nice if AKC came out with some sort of micro-chipping procedure, that when a breeder registers a litter-they have the option to purchase chips registered to their kennel--to that specific litter/each puppy, and when the new owner does the papers-it will automatically transfer that chip # to them. This would help the breeder have the litter registered and help the new owner if the pet is lost/stolen, etc.
