AKC Registration
1. Full Registration: This means that you may show and or breed this dog and register puppies bred in accordance with AKC regulations.
2. Limited Registration: Dogs may not be shown in AKC confirmation shows, but may be exhibited in some AKC sanctioned events. Any puppies bred from these dogs cannot be registered with AKC.
I prefer my puppies to go to loving pet homes. Full registration is given on an individual basis, to responsible, caring breeders. Not all puppies are suitable as potential breeders, some may be too small to safely carry and deliver a litter. Only Shih Tzu with the best qualities, as related to the AKC Shih Tzu standard should be considered. Full AKC registered puppies may cost more.
