- Your puppy will come with an AKC limited registration. This is an AKC registration which is perfect for pets, obedience dogs, agility dogs, hunting dogs, dock diving, therapy dogs, etc. If you are interested in breeding or showing in AKC conformation classes, you will need a full registration. Otherwise, a limited registration is just fine. If at a later time, you wish to upgrade to a full registration, you must request the upgrade and pay the additional amount for a full registration. However, upgrades to a full registration is only sold to approved buyers. Limited AKC registration puppies are $2750 . Full AKC Registration (approved buyers only) puppies are $5000.

(proper documentation from licensed veterinarian required. Seller reserves right to get a second opinion) presence of parasites, protozoa or bacteria is not unusual in puppies of this age and is not considered to be a major problem.
