May seem like a silly question so my apologies in advance: If we don't plan to show our dog then is there another reason we would need to do the AKC registration? The breeder gave us the info for registration, told us to log on to the site and pay the fee. For a family pet, is there a benefit or requirement to do the AKC registration?
By registering your dog you also enable AKC to keep up with the statistics of the GSD. It could also be a valuable tool should your dog ever come into a custody dispute and you have to prove ownership.
yes, it is a record of the dog's ownership - just like you do with your car....you can get the dog microchipped with their microchip too, and the registration proves ownership....
