There needs to be a secure paper trail - so if the parents were imported but the litter bred here, the parents have to be AKC registered first and then the litter registered as everything happened here. Often people buy dogs from importers and the paper are not properly transferred and then they cannot register them here. Too many people do not understand the paperwork and do not follow through. And too many dogs with questionable papers are offloaded on unsuspecting buyers who do not understand they have been screwed. If the AKC allowed iffy registrations, we would scream bloody murder - so lets not be upset if they insist on a paper trial.

BUT you need to register the dogs AKC first before UKC or AKC sometimes won't register them. I've had friend try and not get anywhere except an ILP number and you have to spay or neuter the dog for that. I hope they change that soon. ________________________________ A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
