Limited or Full
Registration/Pet or Show - What is best for your
new English Bulldog
Limited or Pet
Registration: Limited or Pet registration could mean several
things in the words of an English bulldog breeder but on an AKC Dog
Registration or CKC registration it means only one thing. You have
no breeding rights to the bulldog. In such a case you should neuter
of spade your pet to minimize health problems down the road and
accidental litters among other things. Most if not all breeders
should require this done in a certain time range for a limited
registration. Usually a English Bulldog puppy with Limited
Registration or Pet Quality will sell slightly cheaper, but not that
much, English bulldogs are very expensive to breed, thus the high
prices.
Reasons: Reasons your English bulldog might be limited can be
that the breeder doesn't want to have his lineage given out, some
English bulldog breeders go through a great amount of time and
devotion to obtain the right breeding stock, sometime this can take
years and years. It is possible that the breeder doesn't feel that
this particular puppy is show quality, or not top show quality, this
depends on the breeder. This does not mean that your English bulldog
is deformed or is not the norm, it can mean that it might not be the
best in a show, remember dogs compete from all over the world, to be
top dog your dog needs to be in good standards. A very responsible
breeder will limit the amount of bulldogs with full registration.
Currently in California a motion to create a new law that requires
all dog owners to spade or neuter their pets unless they are a
registered breeder.
Full Registration/Show: Full or Show registration, means you
have the right to breed and show the animal, the English bulldog is
free of restrictions. Sometimes there could be limitations by a
contract you sign upon buying your puppy, some breeders ask for a
puppy back from the first litter, this is usually on the pick of the
litter or exceptional bulldogs or bulldog lineage. Expect to pay
more for a show quality English bulldogs. Even if your puppy is Full
Registration and you believe that you will not have any litter then
we recommend you have your English bulldog fixed.
