Spay and Neuter/ Limited Registration
We ask that you spay and neuter your pet. None of our limited registration dogs should be bred. Please keep in mind, just because you are purchasing a puppy with limited registration does not mean that you are purchasing a dog of lesser quality.
Here at Tact Kennels we want to breed only the best. This is not always evident when the pups are 8 weeks old. Even if we think that a puppy will be structurally correct and has a great temperament, we never know what will happen over the next year or so. This is why we do allow some of our puppies to be co-owned until 18 months (if you wish to show) or listed as limited registration until 18 months. Limited registration means that your dog can be registered, but any offspring may not unless the parent's registration is released by the breeder.
At 18 months it is determined between your vet, us as breeders, and sometimes a breed club, whether the dog should be bred. If you are interested in a full registration dog (meaning that your dog and future generations may be registered) please contact us.
