Who knows...I'm sure in many cases it's because the dog was sold with limited regsitration or because they don't adhere to the AKC's stricter rules.
I know that one of mine only had CKC registration when I got her. Both her parents were AKC reg, but the breeder (or rather her daughter) was only interested in competing in fun agility events, which they always did through CKC. I was on a waiting list for a dog from her and she offered to register the litter with AKC, but I told her not to bother. At the time, I really didn't see what the big deal was. I considered before going back and getting her AKC reg, but at this point, I figured, what does it matter, ya know? |
Interesting. I'm glad a breeder needs to be contacted because I would hate to think any buyers are just trying to get around agreements they may have with a breeder. I'm in no way suggesting that's the case here, I was just curious in general how it would work.
