Question

Online registation of the litter? What would you say is the best way to registure your purebred litter? How soon should this be done after whelping? And how long does it usually take for the puppies reg. papers to arrive in the mail?

Answer 1

It is easy to do online. You will need all of the parent's registration numbers, dates and when they were recorded.

I wait until about 4 weeks after whelping. You have to pay for each pup so by waiting til 4 weeks you won't pay for any pups that don't survive.
Once you complete the registration and pay it takes 2-3 weeks to get the paperwork.

Answer 2

You can do it righ after they are born. You will pay 25.00 per litter and 2.00 a pup for registration. If one pup dies 2.00 is not going to break the bank. If the whole litter goes then you are out 40.00 or so dollars. Be careful with registration online of the pups (the new owners registering them online) If one is on a limited registration you have to almost completely remove the limited box because the new owners will see the number printed under the ink you used to blacken the box and enter it online for a full registration.

Answer 3

I always register my litters on-line. I usually wait until the pups are two weeks old, just in case one passes. The papers usually only take about 1 week or so to come in.

Answer 4

I haven't done this yet, since I am new to computers the litter I am planning in 2008 will be the first. Thanks, for asking this because I like some of the answers.

Answer 5

I always do it online. Usually when they are three weeks. The paperwork comes pretty fast...usually within a week and a half.

Wow. My paperwork had never taken three weeks!! Wonder why the times can be so different.
