  • Effective July 1, 2024. We will pay for and submit AKC registration forms. Buyers will be given a week after they take possession of the pup to name him/her with an official registered name. If the time period passes without a decision, then we will assign a “generic” name that can be change at the owner’s expense. FOR EXAMPLE “Topbrass Blue’s Pink Girl”.

  • TOPBRASS dogs ARE NOT to be bred with a dog of another breed to produce a “designer breed” . Full registration will be denied and all warranties are void.

  • All pups are sold on LIMITED REGISTRATION. This prohibits any litters produced by the dog to be registered with the AKC however you can still compete with the dog. Registration can be changed after the required health clearances and genetic testing have been completed and submitted to TOPBRASS. Required testing is as follows: full genetic panel from a provider of your choice, OFA hips and elbows; OFA eye clearance from a certified ophthalmologist ; and cardiac clearance from a certified canine cardiologist . *We reserve the right to also require an AKC or UKC title before changing the registration.
