So if all the OP has is the dogs info through APRI, then registration of the dog would be denied by AKC.
Also, the dogs original breeder would have to give consent and AKC would verify it, including for purposes of limited vs full registration--i.e. the dog was not placed on limited registration and the breeder didn't without registering them purposely.
Does that make sense? It's very misleading. In many cases you see people trying to use it as a loophole to get their dogs AKC registration when the breeder never intended that to be the case. Also, by misleading would be owners who may be under the impression that getting their dogs registered with AKC is possible when it's not. |
Yes, I think that's exactly what it says on the AKC website. There can't be any break in the AKC lineage.
I doubt many dogs actually qualify once the pedigree is researched by the AKC.
