Sorry but you got scammed.Your puppy isn't registered and no it isn't worth the money or effort to pay the money to do it. This registry is nothing more then a scam..a registry made up by BYB/mills and other irresponsible breeders..breeders who can't registered the dogs/puppies with a legit registry or who themselves have been suspended from doing business with a legit registry.
Unless the registry is AKC (American kennel Club), UKC (United kennel Club) or CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) then it isn't a legit registry (here in the US).The others are nothing more then cons to make people believe they have a registered dog when they don't.

An APR registration isn't worth the paper its printed on. Just like the Continetal Kennel Club, they'll register anything. Its a way for people with unregistrable dogs to breed and say their pups are registered. Most of these people aren't very responsible breeders either.
APR has nothing to do with microchipping. The two most popular microchipping programs are Avid and HomeAgain. Completely different deals. And I HIGHLY doubt anyone selling pups with an APR registration paper took the time or money to microchip their pups.

America's Pet Registry is not worth submitting a registration fee to IMO. The controlling registration body for the United States is the American Kennel Club (AKC). AKC and also UKC (United Kennel Club) are worth registering with but all these others have sprung up for people to register dogs they had no papers on or dogs that were mixed breeds or cross breeds. A money making deal for the people with the registry.

APR is exactly what it says it is Americas PET registry.
You are registering a PET quality dog not one for breeding.
They are not a well respected registry here in the US

APR is a puppy mill registry.
Honestly though they all are and you only need to register the dog if you plan to breed.
Do you know how many mills falsify paperwork?
Happens all the time and to all registries.
None are immune.

FAKE!
SCAM!!!
ABSOLUTELY ****WORTHLESS****!!!!
You might as well draw your own "papers' w/a purple crayon on TOILET TISSUE! At least that would be useful.
That's a FAKE "registry" recently made-up by CROOKS(PUPPYMILLS!!!) just to SCAM the ignorant into paying big bucks for CRAP!
AKC is ONLY reputable registry!
PERIOD!

Probably has a micro chip...I'd pay it if you are worried about your pet running off, then when he's found they scan his neck and your number pops up...really cool actually!
