Does NOT mean she is not a purebred. Nor does it mean she is unregisaterable...IF you had the paperwork from the breeder..

Since she's a shelter dog, you probably won't have any papers available to you. You CAN get an ILP (indefinate listing privelege) thru AKC for the preformance venues. It looks framable.

You need a downloadable form thru AKC, and 1 frontal pose, and 1 side pose. I don't recall what it costs... $20, sticks in my mind.
I don't think an ethical breeder would allow a pup to end up in the shelter!!Bt who knows, it could be one of those "run of the mill" breeders who only breed for money....like my uncle!!! Chances are, wiht no papers, there is no proof she is pure bred. Just like my Pit Bull, she's a shelter rescue and they say she's full pit, but no papers= no pure bred


You know....Pictures would help too...........
