Tonchi, I'm not sure if she will be registered. She is most certainly a purebred and her heritage is posted on the Internet for all to see, but the breeder is strongly encouraging me to have her spayed since she will "only" be a companion animal and not one used for show or breeding purposes. I couldn't agree more, since the last thing I need is a litter of pups on my hands, and I have neither the interest nor the desire to find a suitable sire for a litter of purebred Cardigans. I don't know if the AKC registration procedure applies in such cases or not. I'll have to ask the breeder.
