Your dog has to be 6 months of age in order to free register him/her. I doubt you would make the deadline. I would say that if you are even remotely considering breeding again, you opt for the AKC registered pup....but I know that registration has not previously been a concern of yours, so I'd say just make sure you get a dog that is of good breed quality.
(And PS, most will concur that 8 weeks is STILL to young to leave the momma. More than likely, your 'breeder' changed his release age because it is illegal in Ohio to release a pup younger than 8 weeks of age.  ) |
Thank you for that information! That makes more sense than the story he gave me!
