If your puppy is purchased from Family Affair Standard Poodles with LIMITED AKC REGISTRATION, your Standard Poodle is not eligible to breed or register offspring with AKC. It will also not be able to participate in any AKC sponsored conformation events. However, they can be shown in all other AKC sanctioned events. If your puppy is purchased from Family Affair Standard Poodles with an UNLIMITED AKC REGISTRATION, your Standard Poodle is eligible to breed and register offspring with AKC. The puppy is also eligible to compete in any AKC sponsored conformation events. Basically, for a person or family wanting a beautiful, healthy, fun, companion, the LIMITED AKC REGISTRATION is what you need. If you are interested in conformation, showing, or breeding you will need an UNLIMITED AKC REGISTRATION. We reserve the right to make the final decision to sell our Standard Poodle Puppies on LIMITED or UNLIMITED AKC REGISTRATION.
