I think the term dual registration is what Nancy meant is a marketing tool.
A breeder usually provides a pedigree to a puppy buyer, along with AKC regiostration papers. It's up to the buyer to request 3 or 5 generation. But, if your pup is a pet only, all that is necessary is to register the dog.....The registeration will give you the pups registration #, and information on the Dam & Sire. |
Well I have to say when I bought Magic he was dual registered in both AKC and Canadian Kennel Club. All I had to do was send in paperwork on AKC to register him individually. that was a good time saver and expense for me. For I wanted to show him in both Canada and USA.
Of course I knew his pedigree, but anyhow I liked the way they looked and ordered one from CKC a 5 generation one. AKC came with I think a 3 generation one.
What is important is the the purebred dog be registered with a reputable registry. This means the puppies parents are registered and the litter has been registered with the for instance AKC. All the new owner needs to do is register the dog individually. If the cost is reasonable why not do it?
How-ever it doesn't confer any special benefit to the owner if they don't want to compete in agility, rally, obedience or conformation.
