What are AKC Limited and Full AKC Registrations?

Both of these options ensure that your puppy is AKC registered.
The two main differences are price and purpose.

Limited AKC Registration

Limited Registration is also often referred to as "pet only" registration. Limited AKC is the option most people take if their puppy will be a family pet, and will not be used to breed/reproduce.

As an incentive for our puppies to enter "pet only" homes, we offer Limited Registration at a lower price with almost every litter.

So, in a nutshell:

• Limited AKC Registration is less expensive for the puppy's new family

• Limited AKC Registration is for pets, and not breeding dogs.

• Limited AKC dogs can still compete at many AKC-sponsored events such as Obedience, Tracking, Field Trials, Hunting Tests, Herding, Lure Coursing, Agility and Earthdog.

• See individual puppy descriptions on our Available Puppies page for pricing.

Full AKC Registration

Full AKC Registration should be chosen if a puppy's new family plans to show in AKC breed/conformation events at AKC shows, or to breed their cocker spaniel in the future. Full AKC Registration price is typically higher than the other option (above).

So in a nutshell:

• Full AKC Registration typically costs more than the other option.

• Full AKC Registration is the correct choice if a puppy will be shown in AKC breed/conformation shows or if the puppy will breed in the future.
