Hi Kari - ET anyone else that might not have registered their dog in a 
timely manner ( with in 12 months of the application date on the form you 
have from me) :-)

You can submit to OFA with out registration.  Use his litter number: 
SN987067/05 which is his registration number too.  Be sure to mail me a 
copy of the report. You have all the other data for the form or have your 
vet call me if they have a hole in the application for evaluation by 
OFA.  *I* do want information to go to OFA when ever possible.

 If you want to register Boomer and you have lost his application I can as 
his breeder writhe a letter of explanation and request a second application 
be sent to me but there are costs involved in this.

1. $15.00 for the additional application to register.

2. Since Boomer is now 17 months old when you go to register him there will 
be an additional fee to register him probably $60.00.

In this case personally unless you see that you are going to be entering 
Boomer in some form of competition at any point in his life ( obedience, 
agility, ect.) I would not bother to pay all these additional fees...

However Everyone - I do think it is important to register your dogs with 
AKC to avoid such issues.

Kari - go stand in the corner for 10 minutes! :-)

Hug's to everyone!
