Not at all! Registering your AKC puppy is not mandatory, but it can be beneficial if you plan to breed your dog. If the puppy's mother is already registered with the AKC, you have the option to register your puppy as well, which will provide proof of your dog's pedigree and ensure that your dog is recognized as a purebred by the AKC. If you do not plan to breed or participate in AKC events with your dog, registering your puppy is not necessary.
