Today I received an email saying Princess Serafina was accepted for AKC registration. She originally came with a registration form for America's Pet Registry Inc. Which I have never heard of and I read mixed reviews on them online. So I did research on her, got copies of her parents registration certificates from APRI, made a copy of my bill of sale, took a picture of her and emailed all information I had to AKC at [email protected] They emailed me back six days later saying they did their research and she is eligible for AKC!! Woo-hoo!! I was surprised at how fast they got back with me. I told Serafina's breeders the news and they said they just heard they were able to research it last week from another pup owner. So they are now looking into it. I guess the sire had AKC papers but then the previous owners switched to APRI so the current owners of Serafina's sire didn't think they could get the AKC papers back.
