I have just purchased a dachshund?

Question

both of her parents are registrated with the continental kc so is it true that she may not be purebred because she is not with the akc?

Answer 1

The CKC website says they rely upon the integrity and honesty of the breeders in the registration of litters and puppies. Yes, it is possible. It is also possible with the AKC, but perhaps less likely.

I'm wondering about your question. Are you asking because the puppy/dog doesn't look "right" to you? The "look" of the dog should fit the breed standard. Look at the breed standard on the AKC website. Then, look up the breed on the CKC website.

Most of us get dogs for companionship and are not interested in breeding or showing. Registration is most important for showing your dog. The breed standard can help pick out a dog that "fits" in look and personality. If you just want a pet, relax. The dog may not meet the standard. Many fantastic dogs are not purbred.

I love dachshunds, but I would shop carefully before purchasing one. I always like to talk to the breeder and get a feel for them and their dogs.

Check out the faqs file on the CKC site.

Answer 2

Although AKC (American Kennel Club) is much more highly regarded than CKC (Continental Kennel Club), an AKC dog can still be a "mutt". Unless a DNA test is performed (which AKC allows) you won't really know.

With CKC, however, you can register anything you want and call it something. I breed dachshunds, and a fellow breeder actually sent in a picture of a PAINT HORSE, with two signatures stating that it was a purebred red piebald DACHSHUND. Guess what she got in the mail a few weeks later? A CKC certificate for papers for her paint horse/dachshund. What a joke, right?

Now, on the other and, some of the most beautiful dogs I have seen are with the CKC.

AKC has their DNA program, as well as their rules that both parents must be AKC registered.

Answer 3

The parents could have some mix in them, although they most likely are pure bred. The biggest time people breed CKC is that they have bought AKC dogs from a reputable breeder where that breeder has put limited AKC registration on them. Limited registration means that they can not be used in the conformation ring, and they can not be bred resulting in a litter that is eligable to be registered with the AKC. A dog with limited AKC registration can be shown in AKC obedience.

Answer 4

CKC is just another dog organization/club....the only reason AKC stands out so much is because they have very strict guidelines and I feel that they are almost controlling the dog world...I have a dachshund whose parents where both CKC but I didn't buy him for the registry I think they are stupid....you get a dumb piece of paper and you can compete them and put AKC or CKC or whatever in front of there name...so what?...did you check her parents records? If her grandparents where purebred don't worry. All in all....ask yourself...did I buy this dog because it was registered or did I buy this dog because I love Doxies?

Answer 5

Could be. There is no way to trace her pedigree. The Continental Kennel Club is a registry that pet stores use for a reason. No questions asked!!!!! They will register anything that looks even remotely pure.

Answer 6

just because they are not akc registered does not mean the are not pure bred. there are several different breed clubs that can regester the dogs.

Answer 7

you should examine the AKC information superhighway website for breeders / rescue on your section. the actual shown truth that you're ' determined ' means that you'll bounce on the first doggy that comes alongside.. not a good theory. Do your study and get the perfect doggy you could.. do not settle only reason you're determined.
