A pedigreed purebred dog can be listed on either the Main Register (blue certificate) or Limited Register (orange certificate).
A dog on the Main Register (blue certificate) has full rights, meaning it is eligible for conformation showing, may be bred from to other Main Register dogs of the same breed and have their progeny registered as purebreds.
The Limited Register (orange certificate) is for dogs that are pedigreed but are ineligible to be shown at conformation shows nor be bred from.
All pedigreed dogs carry the kennel or Prefix they originate from in their name. For example, “Rantino Adevl N Disguise”. Rantino is the Prefix, similar to a thoroughbred’s stud name or a person’s surname. All dogs bred by that particular kennel will have that name first.. The second part of the name, Adevl N Disguise is the name of the dog. This can be any name the breeder chooses. All dogs with the same prefix must have different names and a dog’s name cannot contain someone else’s prefix. The call name of the dog is something you want to call your dog for the rest of its life; Fido, Sunny or Jack.
