This was just sent to me by a Bull Mastiff breeder
1) The default on a dog application is Full registration privileges.
If a breeder wishes to limit breeding and showing privileges for a
puppy, he or she must indicate as such by darkening the "limited"
box on the individual dog application.
The only change AKC has made in regards to limited is to ask
breeders to "darken the limited box" instead of "checking the
limited box" if limited registration is requested. Full
registration remains the default (no breeder action necessary) on
applications.
2) Since 2004, AKC has encouraged the use of our Online Litter and
Online Dog Registration systems. These optional online services
provide fast turnaround on applications and are very popular among
breeders.
In the next few weeks, AKC plans to launch enhancements to the
Online Dog Registration system. Using a code printed on their dog's
application, new puppy buyers will be able to register online
without the help of the breeder.
This is an improvement from the existing version of Online Dogs,
which requires the breeder to complete part of the online dog
registration process for the puppy buyer.
An additional code on the dog application will allow the new owner
to indicate whether or not the breeder has given the dog full
registration privileges. This code will be printed in the "limited"
registration box on the dog application. If the breeder darkens the
box, the code will not be visible, the registrant will not be able
to enter the code online, and the dog will receive "limited"
registration status.
The new codes will ensure the breeder's wishes are honored while
making theregistration process more convenient for the puppy owner.
3) Before launching enhancements to the Online Dog Registration
system, AKC wanted to make sure changes to the dog application and
online dog registra tion system worked well for our breeders and
puppy owners. To test the system, AKC issued a limited number of new
dog application forms containing the online registration codes. This
is the reason some puppy registrants have received forms with codes
while others have received forms without codes. Those puppy
registrants receiving forms with codes during the test period have
been able to the new version of Online Dogs.
This test has allowed us to make the system as easy to use as
possible and address areas of confusion (like the question about the
shading in the limited box--the shading was added as a security
measure but our test has determined it is not necessary). Those who
have registered online have given very positive feedback about the
ease and speed of the online process.
We are working hard to make the registration process as clear, quick
and easy for you as possible. We appreciate any suggestions you
might have to improve our online registration services.
4) Online Dog Registration serves as an option for breeders and
puppy owners but does not change our paper processing
systems. "Codes" are not required to register a dog. The new PIN
numbers on applications simply provide the online registration
option.
