Limited Registration means that the dog may not be entered in breed competition at AKC licensed events. Limited Registration means that the dog may compete in other licensed events such as Herding Trials, Agility Trails and Obedience Tests. Limited Registration is determined by the litter owner(s).

Limited Registration certificates are white with an orange border; the full Registration Certificate is white with a purple border. Limited Registration can be changed to Full Registration only by the litter owner(s). Limited Registration helps breeders protect their breeding programs.
