What is the "Limited Register"?

[Winter]

I've seen this heaps on breeders websites : Will only sell on the Limited Register.

So what is it & how do I get on it?

I'm looking for a labrador puppy in Perth....

I just googled your question and got this:

Dogs on the Limited Register are considered by their breeder to not be quite up to the standard that is required for showing or breeding. Quite often dogs sold as ?pets? will be registered on the Limited Register. It is possible to upgrade a dog from the Limited Register to the Main Register with the breeders consent (by way of signature) for a nominal cost as long as the application is made before the dog turns 3 years of age. The colour of the Registration Certificate is orange

Thanks so much! Here I was thinking it was a waiting list!! That I'd have to be registered!!

My baby girlfriend, German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP) is limited registered.
Additionally to Netix's post, another difference between registered and limited is the price.

My girl is small for her breed, perhaps that is why she is only limited. I don't mind, I love her just the same.

With Labs (pretty sure the same goes for Golden R's) ask if the parents have been given the all clear medically for any hip problems. They should come with papers stating this as well.

Have fun with your new puppy

Yay, I'm so excited! I'm on a witing list for a puppy from a breeder! Sometime next year we're getting a yellow labrador girl puppy!!
