Actually, I'm more interested in how Todd can figure out how the Bitch throws bad hips. That's a miracle! Actually, I'd like to switch it up a bit and have him tell me which dogs and bitches throw bad elbows so we can spay or neuter all those suckers and eliminate a problem in the breed. Can you imagine how many AFC FC CH OTCH MACH animals would have been altered?

For the OP. I use limited. I screen my buyers heavily. In general, those who I know and those who I trust and come with recommendations from people I know get a pup on full. Puppy people get a FULLY REGISTERED DOG, before they leave my house, on limited. Why? Too many people I know with as stringent screening policies have dogs that can fall through the cracks. What does that mean?

Illness in the family-Dog gets placed/sold. Owner dies-Dog gets placed/sold. I have a contract with a must return to breeder policy. You know **** happens. It is a TOOL. We have enough BYB junk out there now. And even though many of use have contracts drawn up by lawyers some argue that they're not worth the paper it's written on.

I believe that my screening process is key, BUT it is still a tool. Just like EIC and CNM and Echos, etc....are. I use it to make sure what I have has a lower possibility of being bred by someone who wants to make a buck. I hope it doesn't go away.

Saying limited registration is stupid is just as ignorant as saying you won't breed an EIC clear to an EIC carrier.

Harsh....but passionate about protecting the breed. The people who will do harm do not frequent places like this. I'm with Meredith and Eric. I'll use all the tools at my disposal if I'm going to take on the responsibility of bringing these dogs into the world.

And though many times I'm not happy with some of the things that AKC is doing, THIS is one of the reasons why ALL my puppies leave my premises registered, full or limited. I belong to TWO clubs, LRC and DOTC Lynchburg, that helped make these trailers possible for disaster relief:

If it doesn't pop up, go to the LRC Facebook page.
