I have to agree with Emmasmom on this one. I also dont like someone trying to tell me what to do with something I have bought and paid for. If they were selling them at a very reduced price that would be one thing but that is usually not the case. I have seen yorkies with limited registration going for $1500.00 for a male and around $2500.00 for a female. This disparity in price for male or female makes no sense either if they want you to spay or neuter.
I have owned dogs that I had spayed or not and did not breed - but it was my choice. My dog = my choice. I take very good care of my dogs but reserve the right to decide their future. I have dogs now that I do intend to breed and I was upfront with the breeders I got them from about that. I also have 2 that I do not intend to breed but I will decide if or when to have them spayed. However, with all the other registries out there someone could conceivably buy an AKC registered dog with limited registration and simply dual register it with another registry and register the puppies under the second registry. So if a breeder really doesnt want the pup to later reproduce they should have them spayed or neutered themselves before selling them.
Personally, like emmasmom, I would simply go to another breeder rather than have someone try to tell me what I can or cannot do with something that I have spent that much money for. It would be like them trying to retain partial ownership of something after they had been paid quite handsomely for it.
Sorry for the long post but this has always been a peeve of mine.
