I have started to breed Siberian Huskies and I was wondering does a dog have to be registered for you to breed it I am fully aware of the dogs in the shelter so I only plan to have one litter

Of course not. Why would it? Go get them out of the shelter or wait for another one to wander into your yard and just go for it. Plus, you can breed them with the other dogs you have and come up with all kinds of fun designer dogs to sell.
I'm sure you can get plenty of good advice from the rest of your buddies. Just email them. Why are you posting this here? You don't need to ask the world.

A purebred dog does not have to be registered to be bred. However, there are certain benefits to having papers for your dog and registering the puppies.
A purebred AKC registered puppy cost more than an unregistered puppy of the same breed. Being AKC registered usually means puppies should adhere to a certain breed characteristics i.e. color, size, temperament, ear type etc. and often new owners research breeds and buy according to breed characteristics. Most dog shows are AKC sanctioned and require dogs to be registered. A show quality puppy can demand big $$$$ over the price of pet quality puppy and 10x more than an unpapered dog.
The AKC isn't the only dog registry out there. Many breeds that aren't recognized by the AKC are listed with other groups like the AFR, Animal Research Foundation, out of Texas, where I registered my Spotted Leopard Catahoula.
On the flip side of all this, I have a very tiny male Jack Russell Terrier, (9 pounds of terror,) with no papers. He's well proportioned, long-legged, very athletic and his social calendar is peppered with dates for his stud services for which I charge a $300 fee. Many of the Jack Russells aren't papered, while some are AKC and others are in the working dog registries. We live in horse country and the JRTs are popular with the horse crowd.
Yes, there a lot of stray and unwanted dogs in the shelters so you should carefully reconsider your decision to start a breeding program. Just because you think your litter of fluffy puppies are adorable doesn't necessarily mean you can sell them all and make the big bucks! You might end up stuck with extra puppies, which quickly turn into dogs you can't give away. They'll eat you out of house and home then bury your backyard in manure.
Can you handle an several extra adult dogs in your house?
You should research your market area, and ask around to find out if there is a demand for Huskies, especially unpapered ones.
Good luck either way.

YES, you would have to register them unless you plan on selling them as PET only which requires no registeration. The puppies would also be at a "cheaper" price w/out papers. This way the buyer knows that if they want to breed their puppy later on they will not be entitled, to be registred since the Dam and Sire will not be. You must advise the buyer that the puppies are not registered under AKC (American Kennel Club) or any other dog registries.

People breed mutts all the time. If you were really "fully aware" you would not be planning to bring another inferior litter into the world. People like you are the cause of the dog over population problem.

Any dog can breed, registered or not, if it is not fixed. Consider that you will not be able to AKC register the puppies if the parents are not registered to begin with AKC and weather you feel this is ethical or not. I guess if it was a quality sled dog that might figure into your decision.

?? You have started to breed Siberians, but you only plan on having one litter????
Why are you wanting a litter? A true "breeder" actually breeds with the intention to produce a puppy better than the parents, which they will keep to perpetuate their bloodline....
Aren't your Siberians registered? Most "quality" purebreds, with the pedigree of "health" tested relatives are.
It costs as much to properly raise a "quality" litter as it does a litter of mixed breeds.......
you won't be able to register the litter with AKC, nor advertise them as AKC puppies.......and often that questions their actually being "purebred"......

It makes no difference unless your planning to sell your puppies and people usually if they pay want a registration form to fill out . You can breed and if people want to pay for unregistered puppies than your okay.. If you tell them it is registered you'll have to have the form to give them that the will send it in containing your dogs name and the sire' s name and date of birth and registered number.of both your female and male dog that breed for these puppies

Dogs must be licensed at a certain again by the government. Registration is done with pedigree organizations for the purpose of guaranteeing that the dog is a purebred. Any dog can have puppies.

If you have a Siberian Husky that you want to breed, it should be registered with a recognized kennel club (AKC) if you want to ensure a pure bloodline. Unregistered purebred dogs are the equivalent of "mutts"...without the papers they are just another dog.
