Full registration vs Limited registration
Limited Registration – Is AKC registered but it is understood that the dog is not to be bred, but can participate in any and all 30+ AKC competitions, except confirmation.
Full Registration – Is AKC registered, but you have the full rights to breed the dog and register its offspring.
La Tribe of Judah offers two types of registrations to its owners, companion ( Limited reg. ) and breeding rights ( Full reg. ), this is done to preserve the breed. Too many hobby breeders with no knowledge of the breed standard without mentors in the breed, nor doing health clearances—and it created an easy way for puppy mills to proliferate—and, sadly, we see the poor quality and structure of so many dogos that suffer because they were not bred with ‘form meets function’ in mind. Just because a dogo is sold as companion only doesn’t mean that the dog cant compete in shows or as issues. We select which dogos are considered companion by fault or by just selling a pup as a companion without full reg. even though in reality the dog is an excellent representation to the breed and just as good as any Full registered dogo. Any breeder NOT controlling who gets a full registration has no control over who will breed their dogs, how many corners they may cut—or they may have less than optimal motives other than improving the breed—like money. So when you ask us for a full registration, first off, we will interview you as to your experience in breeding, what kind of mentorship you’ve had, and intentions.
Why does full registration cost more money? Because you get the cream of the crop and for that we do charge extra—and ask you to please allow us to take part in picking your pup by using our of experience, and by having watched the litter before you see them at pick up time. Size can change, but structure and fine points of movement and angulation won’t, and that is what I’m looking for as well as a dog with a “look at me” attitude and excellent temperament, too. In addition, we don’t want “tire kickers” at all in this price range. You get what you pay for—and nowhere is that more true than genetics in dogs—something that a person spends a lifetime (literally) developing. We want to know you can also commit to and afford to do the health clearances. All of this we can talk about by phone, should anyone actually be in this category. Hope this helps with a bit of our process!
