Limited registration with the AKC means that the dog cannot be shown in conformation events and that if you choose to breed it's offspring will not be registerable with the AKC. It is generally considered an indication by the breeder that the dog is NOT suitable for breeding and should be spayed/neutered and NOT bred. As a breeder I do not release even the limited registration papers until I recieve a certificate from the vet indicating that the required spay/neuter was performed. This will not prevent a dishonorable person from breeding the dog without regard to our agreement, but they will not be able to register any pups produced with the AKC.
Please follow the better judgement of the experienced breeder and do not breed your limited registration dogs, there is generally a good reason the breeder indicates this on the registry.
