the product of two AKC registered parents you can register it with the AKC mix breeds program and your little mix breed will get a certificate and an AKC number? we had a discussion at my local breeding club today, and when I got home I asked in other breeding groups and YES, you can't show the little mix one but it can participate in special events sponsored by the AKC and MOST important your mix baby will get the certificate with an AKC number.. so much for the AKC pure breed only status...
so now we can have AKC registered mix puppies...
and they are pushing it in the clubs at least here in my area..
So I guess the "MUTT" designation is NO MORE.. since now AKC is promoting the mix breeds too.. so much for that ....
oh, and they have a Therapy Dog training specially for the mix breeds.. I am def looking into that one..
