Same situation. I had a Colby dog myself and while he was gorgeous.... he was also dumb as hell. He also had bad skin issues as well. My best dogs have always been dogs of unknown origins.

It's been a toss up for me. Registering a dog for me when available to do so isn't to say "OMG I HAVE A REGISTERED DOG AND IT'S BETTER THAN YOURS". Because a registration can't prove that, and my epeen isn't so small that I have to justify my dog's awesomeness. It's for the convenience of doing so
