Puppy Application
Thank you so much for your interest in a Mount Zion puppy! We’re excited to learn more about you and help you find the right puppy to join your home.
We are deeply committed to producing healthy, well-rounded puppies and placing them in loving, responsible homes. This application helps us get to know you better so we can make the best possible match — both for you and for our puppies.
AKC Registration Options – Limited vs Full Registration
All of our puppies are registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC). There are two types of registration:
Limited Registration:
This is what most families receive. It means the puppy is AKC registered, but cannot be used for breeding or showing in conformation. This is ideal for companion, sport, or service homes.
Full Registration (Breeding Rights):
This is only available to approved homes. Full registration allows the dog to be used in breeding and shown in conformation. We take the future of our puppies seriously, so this option is only granted to select people/ethical breeders under a co-ownership agreement, where we stay involved in mentorship and support to ensure showing and breeding is done responsibly and in the best interest of the dog. Established, trusted breeders may be considered for full registration without co-ownership.
If you are interested in breeding rights or co-ownership, please indicate so in your application. We welcome responsible breeding partners and are happy to discuss possibilities, but approval is not guaranteed and is at our sole discretion.
