"An application to individually register a member of a registered litter shall be valid for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of issue of the application. An application to individually register a member of a registered litter filed with The American Kennel Club more than twelve (12) months from the date of issue of the application may be considered for registration provided the applicant supplies such required information and remits such penalty fee as shall be determined by the Board of Directors. No application to individually register a member of a registered litter will be accepted after twenty-four (24) months from the date of issue of the application, except when the delay in filing the application for individual registration results from an American Kennel Club investigation or inquiry, an action of law or other hardship circumstances satisfactory to The American Kennel Club and the applicant remits such penalty fee as shall be determined by the Board of Directors."
Mine are both registered, but I know I've left the app. on my desk for quite a few months before. :roll:
I register all animals that are registertable (horses, etc), for future purposes. My thinking might not hold water, but if I croak or these dogs need new homes, that might be the little something that gets them into the right hands to keep them hunting, competing, etc. IMO a lot of folks don't want a dog without a pedigree. Rescues are full of 'em. My thinking probably comes from the days of horses being sold for slaughter. A lot of the animals that went through were "unknown" grade horses. If the horse had a pedigree with something on it, someone might take a chance, into making something of it. Of course I like to play some games, so they have to be registered anyway.
