So is it imperative to get a dog with papers whether it is akc or ckc as long as you research the dog and where it is coming from? So many questions I have never had before getting Rocco. Like I have mentioned before we always just had mixed breeds and they were the best pets too so all this about papers, breeders, etc is a lot of information. |
AKC registration is important to me, I feel that coupled with knowing your breeder and trusting them is the best way to ensure you will have a purebred healthy pup. I have never sent in the registrations on my dogs but I have the papers for all of them. I should also add that having the puppy from a young age is also important to me. At least while I have children in my home
