Why Register Your Cairn Terrier Puppy?

Once in a while, I have someone ask if there's any reason to actually register their Crooked Creek Cairn Terrier puppy, since they're just a spayed or neutered pet. There are a few reasons that I think it is important to complete the registration process.

1. Accurate record keeping. A puppy not registered or not transferred effects my record keeping as a breeder. I have multiple retired dogs still in my name online, which makes it difficult to keep track of my active records (current breeding records).
2. A buyer only has 1 year from the date of purchase to register the puppy without additional late fees. It's only $20 if completed within the 1st year. Avoid unnecessary late fees. By the 2-3rd year, it's very expensive to register them.
3. Delaying registration may mean that you lose the paperwork in the meantime.
4. With immediate registration of your puppy, you receive a free check up with participating veterinarians. You're required to take your puppy to the vet within 3 days of purchase, why not get that visit FREE? You also receive a 60 day complimentary healthcare policy.
5. People purchase AKC registered puppies because they want known heritage from a quality breeder. Take full advantage of what you've already paid for, complete the registration process.

As a breeder, I'm always glad to register a puppy for a buyer. I can simply collect the transfer fee upon pick up of the puppy and complete the registration process for you!
