With purebreds, both parents are documented (registered) as belonging to the same breed. Offspring are recognized as members of the same breed and are eligible for certification with the same registry. A registry is an internationally recognized organization that maintains parentage and ownership records of purebred dogs. If a dog is registered by one of these organizations, such as American Kennel Club (AKC) or the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI), other official registries for that same breed automatically accept his pedigree. Purebred puppies are the product of several generations of dogs with similar mental and physical traits, such as size, personality, and health. Although these traits will still vary, the extent of variation is much more predictable.
