So it got pointed out in my thread in the photo album that Sirago can't be AKC registered because he has white toes on his back feet.

Why would they have given us the paperwork to register him if he doesn't qualify? And what would have happened if we had sent it in already? (Good thing I procrastinate I guess!)

awww what a cute puppy and lovly photowork! :wow:D
wellllll you can always search the breed standards up on the net, just make sure to look under breed and sex. ;) thats what I did for my german shepard.

NO NO NO...if you have the papers then is an AKC dog, you can register him...

You can go on the AKC site and read the Lab standards for showing, but I think thats a no no for that.

These are the true standards for comfirmation...

Yeah you can register dogs if you have the paperwork but he doesn't qualify to be shown, I'm pretty sure.

He is registrable no matter what. What it is, he isn't show quality. He can't be shown if he has a 'defect' of some kind.

Oooooh. Okay, so register him, he just can't be shown.

Thank you ladies! :D Obviously I'm a first time pet owner! :blush

That means that since he isnt show quality he probably shouldnt be a stud dog.

Yeah, I think my DH has finally given up on that fight!

You could always just let him step into some black dye... :innocent
