Why is dual registry something that you need for your dog?
There are multiple pure-bred dog clubs and registries in the United States, and scores more worldwide.
In order to be able to breed your purebred dog with a dog from another registry, you must first have both parent dogs registered with the same registry. AMW recognizes all other purebred registries, and makes dual registration available. If you have an AMW registered dog, and want to breed it with a dog registered with another registry, all you need do is dual register the second dog, and you can register your purebred litter of puppies, assuring your buyers of the pups' purebred lineage and history, and lending more value to your puppies.
Many owners of pure-bred dogs appreciate going outside of one singular established dog registry, because individual breeders realize the problems of in-breeding dogs too closely. These breeders have found that infusing pure-bred lines from other registries can help make puppies from this type breeding stronger, and less likely to have in-bred genetic defects.
AMW is not a "show" registry, and most of our breeders are working to produce good dogs that relate to original breed standards of type and disposition, than to produce the modified types winning at show - that change with both the area of the country they are being shown in, and what is in vogue in any particular year.
Individual dog owners will double register their dog with AMW because they are provided with a beautiful certificate of registry that they can display proudly.
