A limited AKC registration means the dog cannot be used for breeding.
IME the breeder/seller of the dog or puppy blacks out a box on the puppy registration application such that the papers are issued as "restricted." This means IF the puppy owner breeds that dog they cannot register the puppies with AKC. The new owner can register the puppy in their name but the papers will state the restricted status.
I bought one puppy with this restriction that would be removed by the puppy's breeder if I titled that puppy in Schutzhund 1/IPO 1 and got her passed hips and elbows by OFA. Integistered this dog with AKC and they issued restricted papers.
I spayed the dog age 3 even though I DID title her to IPO 3 AND she was rated as good/clear for hips and elbows by OFA. Good dog she was but not quite good enough to breed.
