When it comes to maintaining breed integrity and supporting responsible ownership, a purebred registry plays a vital role. We believe education is just as important as competition, which is why knowing what a registry does and does not do can help you make the best decisions for your dogs.
So, what is a purebred registry?
In short, a purebred registry is an official record-keeping system for purebred dogs. Registration establishes lineage, preserves breed standards, and provides recognition for breeders and owners who are committed to their dog breeds. A purebred registry also provides documentation that verifies ancestry and allows dogs to participate in sanctioned competitions and events.
Here are some of the most important reasons dog owners choose to register their dogs:
1. Breed Recognition
A registry ensures your dog’s breed is officially recognized, giving credibility to your breeding program.
2. Eligibility for Events
Only registered purebred dogs can compete in sanctioned shows and canine sports events.
3. Proof of Lineage
Registration offers peace of mind by documenting ancestry, which helps preserve breed standards.
4. Community & Networking
Registries connect you with other breeders, owners, and enthusiasts who share your passion for purebred dogs.
5. Champion Recognition
Registration paves the way for dogs and owners to earn titles, becoming champions in the ring and in the community.
Choosing a purebred registry is about preserving history, protecting standards, and providing opportunities for dogs and owners to thrive, and that’s what we’ve helped dog owners understand since 1964: the importance of responsible registration and competition.
