Well it is not about being cute, or cuter. Many registries, accept on a whole lot of flimsy evidence and will register a dog or a litter.
As a pet owner your first concern should have been about the health testing of the dam and sire. What genetic tests were done? LS LP CERF OFA for hips elbows knees?
I hope your Gracie remains healthy. Just remember you should get BATS done/repeated at 6mths of age.
