Litter Registration Instructions
Registration Status
FULL or LIMITED Registration is determined by the litter Breeder. Only the Breeder checks the box for either Full or Limited registration status of each puppy on the Litter Registration Record Form as well as on the Individual Registration Application Form for each puppy.
Limited Registration helps breeders protect their breeding programs. If a breeder does not want certain puppies used for breeding purposes, they can request the Limited Registration option for those puppies.
NOTE: If the Breeder does not check either box, the dog will be automatically registered with FULL registration status.
Return one completed copy of the Litter Registration Record Form to the MSCA. Once the Litter Registration Record Form has been recorded, the MSCA will process the Individual Registration Application Forms for the litter.
PLEASE NOTE: The MSCA must process the Litter Registration Record Form before new owners of puppies can register their puppies.
The information on the Litter Registration Record Form and the Individual Registration Application Form must match.
