Hi, this may sound like a dumb question but I can't find exact answers online and am still confused, so I am hoping you guys can help me.
My new pup came with AKC registration papers for me to fill out and send in if I want to register him for life, however, I don't fully understand the purpose of me registering him. I have no plans to show my dog, do agility events, or breed my dog at all. I am hovering over the idea of doing therapy dog training in the future, but that's not certain - just a thought. So, do I have to register him with AKC, or is it purely for showing and breeding purposes in a way? I don't really want to spend like $50+ on something I have no use for. He is also already registered for a microchip company, so the AKC Reunite is no use to me either.
Sorry for a dumb question. I am just trying to fully understand AKC. Thank you in advance for the help! :grin2:
