does a dog have to be kennel club reg for it to be a pure pedigree?

Answer 1

if you want a pedigree to breed from or show in crufts you need papers but you can still get pedigree without kc registration .
kc dont like breeders to breed after a ***** is over a certain age and other reasons maybe stop someone getting proper papers like they didnt register as a breeder etc.

Answer 2

Looks like most of you guys have no clue what a "pedigree" is a pedigree is basically the dogs parenst , grandparents, greatgrand parents and so on kennel clubs keep records of these for the perpous of acuracy and put them on paper so they are easy to read and show others but every dog hell every animal has a pedigree they didnt come from thin air what your really asking is do they have to be purebred to be "Registered with a Kennel club" the answer is yes with the exception of the ckc wich is a B.S. registry anyway also the AKC is not the only kennel club nor is it the only one you can show dogs with the AKC, UKC, ADBA, well actually the list is quite long but most real kennel clubs have shows AKC, and UKC are just the most well know and oldest of them

Answer 3

Pedigree does not mean anything ! Any breeder/miller can register any dog under most of any pedigree organization.

A pedigree is a just a paper where you can read the name of the ancestor of your dog - You can't even be sure that those names are real ! When a breeder is filling up the application nobody is there to control what she/he writes is accurate ! Not even the birth date.
You can register a puppy under many pedigree organization for $10 and you get a huge white and gold paper...It is just a print !

The best ( in the horrible world ) organization is AKC, but don't be mislead a lot of puppy mills dogs are AKC too...

To answer your question a pedigree does NOT garantee you that your dog is a pure breed ! ....Nothing does it :(

Answer 4

no , a pedigree is a pedigree, But in order for u to get any money forbreeding and/or puppies, u need papers which usually only the breeder or kennel club can give u. If u pay big bucks for a purebred dog, make sure it comes with papers

Answer 5

Firstly, this is very vague. It would be nice to have some more details in the question. However, if a dog of pure bred background does not have papers it is unlikely to have come from a reputable source.

Even dogs not of show quality can be registered though there may be limits, notation that it should be neutered or spayed. There is something called a limited registration that one can do for companion animals of pedigree which means that none of their offspring can be registered.

What pure pedigree or I suppose you mean pure bred means is that all the dogs ancestors (to a reasonable limit backward in time) are of the same breed. It does not have anything to do with registration but the bloodlines of the dog.

Answer 6

Hi, I get the feeling you're in the UK in which case: no the dog doesn't have to be KC registered to be a pure bred dog. It doesn't have to come from a back yard breeder or puppy farmer just because it isn't KC registered either. Registering puppies isn't cheap and sometimes breeders don't feel a puppy is going to be of show standard and so won't register it. Sometimes an owner with a realy good female dog will find a good male to have just one litter, this isn't wrong or illegal the owner may want to keep one or more pups and sell the rest unregistered. For the record, the oldest Kennel Club is ours in the UK.

Answer 7

The really simple answer is NO however a pedigree needs a fully verifiable history that can be checked, to ensure quality offspring for the protection of the breed for the future.
A KC will only be granted if both parents hold KCs either via born in UK or through transfer from another country that also participates in the same scheme. The rules also extend to breeding ages etc.limitations on how many times breeding can occur etc......
So as you can see it is far more than just a kc

Answer 8

A Pedigree is paper work showing the parentage of that dog. It shows who in that line has championships, the blood line to date, it gives the names of all the ancestors, like a family tree.

The pedigree means a lot to competent breeders. They buy puppies sight unseen because of pedigrees.

AKC or CKC are registry clubs. It is the pedigree that tells you a dog is breed well. AKC papers mean nothing, except that their name is on a list. They register litters sight unseen and that whole little will be nothing but pet quality dogs. But, if you want to participate in any of their functions you have to have a dog registered with them.

A good dog will come with his/her own Pedigree.

Answer 9

A dog can be PUREBRED and not have kennel club registration papers. It can be purebred (registered OR unregistered) and have a pedigree - a pedigree is a listing of the dogs parents, grandparents & back - it is only showing lineage, not a registration.

Dogs sold without REGISTRATION papers generally come from unethical backyard breeders, who were sold the parents dogs with pet quality registration papers (limited registration, i.e. NOT breeding quality).

Answer 10

You have to prove your dog is pedigree before you can register it with the kennel club.

We have a pure pedigree Boxer. We have got her family history going back 4 generations and all are pure breeds.

Answer 11

no the parents determine whether the dog is a pedigree. the kc are just a register of all pedigree dogs. a lot of breeders will ask if you want the dog to be registered as if the dog is just going to be a pet not used for shows or breeding there is no point
