Every puppy produced at Liberty Run is an AKC Registered Puppy.  When puppies go to their new homes, they are sold on either Full or Limited Registration.  The only difference between the two types of registration is whether or not the dog is eligible to be used for breeding.  Puppies purchased as show puppies or as breeding stock are sold on Full Registration. Puppies purchased for any other purpose are sold on Limited Registration.  Most Liberty Run puppies are given the option of an upgrade from Limited Registration to Full Registration if the owner decides they want to show their dog and the dog demonstrates qualities that will succeed in the show ring. 

If you don't intend to show or breed your dog, there is no reason to have Full Registration on your puppy, dogs with limited registration can be shown in any event except conformation.   Full Registration does not affect the quality of the puppy, it simply designates the purpose for the puppy.
