To gain and maintain registration with a Kennel Club, a breeder need only show their puppies are pure bred. They do not need to show they favour breed stock with the best ehalth records, and tem
specifies only that the dog is purely of one recognised breed - it does not guarantee that the dog comes from healthy or show-quality bloodlines. Nor is it a reflection on the quality of the breeder or how the puppy was raised. Registration simply provides tracking for known canine ancestry as stated by the breeder of each dog registered, and therefore the possibility of pedigree services. Purebred pedigrees can sometimes be followed back for as much as a century and for perhaps thirty or more generations of registered ancestry.

Registration is requried for dogs who will participate in purebred conformation shows or who will be used for purebred breeding. Most breeders register their eligible puppies, even if they are not of show quality, because there is a better market for registered dogs and also because the puppy might have characteristics that could produce championship stock if careful genetic planning takes place.
