| They're registered in the sense that they're on record with the AKC and have an individual identifying number, but I see what you're saying Larry. They're certainly not registered as purebred.
Jeff - you can't get your dog registered for breeding purposes if it's not registered already, only for performance. AKC offers ILP for sterilized animals only, in order to do their bit to prevent irresponsible breeding (breeding dogs without papers is almost always irresponsible, not least because there's usually no officially reliable record of parentage so you have no proof that the dog is purebred).
