I recently purchased a puppy. He was listed as AKC Registered. He wasn't though. Instead, they gave me a form to register him myself. I completed the form and then decided to go online and do it instead. The site was a little confusing. It listed a section for "Previous Owner" and I completed it but the information did not transfer back to the main page. I entered it again and it did not show up on the main page AGAIN so I decided that was the way their site worked and continued with the registration. There was a section for type of registration. When they sent me the papers, there was a box there and they had written the number 453 in it and outside and to the right of the box it said LIMITED. Online I put in the 453 and continued. I finished the registration and left the site.

Today I got the official "papers" and it looks like it is a FULL registration. I went on the site and it said FULL registrations are purple and LIMITED registrations are orange. I have a purple one. Do I need to contact them to fix this? If so, WHO?? Is a full registration the same as an OPEN one that I see people speak of? My Lazzy is cute as a button and lovable and sweet and smart but he just isn't breedable (IMO) - he has a cotton coat and one floppy ear (not that there is anything wrong with that, I wouldn't care if he was bald). I am having him spayed when he is old enough.

From what I read, dogs cost a lot more money when you get the open registration and I do not want to end up owing anyone any money.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
