ok let me re-word this ?'tion?

Question

i have a miniature schnauzer..... And she is such a Great Dog ..We are looking to mate her...Because she is such a good dog we want to keep one of her puppies..But we dont not have paper's For her How could we go about getting them..Can you even get paper's For a full Grown Dog?

Answer 1

If you weren't given papers from the breeder when you got her, you probably won't be able to get papers now. The only option you have is to contact the breeder and see if they still have the papers. If not, you are out of luck.

Second, regardless of how much of a "good dog" she is, she may not be breeding material. I am not trying to be mean, but there are so many pure bred dogs in pounds and rescues because someone else thought their dog was a good dog and should have puppies.

Here are some things to consider when thinking about breeding your dog:

First, is your dog AKC registered? If not, stop now and do not breed your dog. Even if it is registered through a different registry, it is probably not "good" breeding material.

Next, you must know the pedigree of your dog. If it does not have any champions in it, your pup is probably not worth breeding. Stop right there and do not breed your dog.

Third, check to verify if your dog falls within breed standard set by the AKC. Go to AKC.org and check out your breed. If your dog is in any way out of standard, do not breed it.

Then, if the dog does have champions in his line, and falls within standards, take your dog into the vet and have it tested for any genetic issues that may cause it to be unfit to breed. If your vet is qualified, have the dog temperament tested also. Temperament is one of the most important attributes in a dog. If it fails any of these tests, do not breed it.

Finally, make sure that you have at least $3000 saved incase you have any problems that may arise during the pregnancy or whelping. If you can’t afford that, stop and fix the dog!

Now for my lecture....Not all dogs should be breed. Breeding takes time, energy, and a lot of money. There are so many dogs in shelters or puppy mills now, that should never have been born or breed.

Answer 2

Why do you need papers- are you just looking to use her as a puppy factory? You have no reason that I can see to need papers other than you would get a better price for the pups so frankly i am suspicious of your motives. Look most women complain quite rightly about the stress and trials of being pregnant- it may be a natural thing but its no fun so why put such an unnecessary burden on your dog.
If you didn't know the answer to your question before posting it then I wonder where "responsible ownership" fits into all of this?

Answer 3

No you can NOT get registration papers for you dog....she had to have come from a registered litter and you would need to ahve been given her registration.

Being a "good" dog etc IS NOT a legit reason to breed...there is a whole lot more to being a responsible breeder then putting two dogs together & producing puppies...you need to have health testing done (not just simple vet exams), an impeccible pedigree, a dog that has been either shown or evalauted to insure it meets breed standard, temperament tests, etc.

Do NOT waste time or money registering with any of the scam registries..ACA, CKC (Continental Kennel Club, Canine Kennel Club), APDRI, Universal Kennel Club, National Pet Registry, National Dog Registry, etc. These are bogus registries set up by bYb/Mills tto con people into believing that they own a registered, purebred dog when in fact the papers are worthless.

Answer 4

When you purchase/adopted your dog that is when you were suppose to get papers for your dog. Registration comes from the parents of a dog being regsitered, which in turns qualifies the litter.

If your dog is not regsitered or you did not recieve papers with your dog then chances are you will not be able to register your dog.

Reputable breeders do not breed because "they think their dog is great" but to improve the breed or because they are involved in dog shows with clubs. People need to have experience, knowledge, and information when it comes to breeding, which might not be what you have. There is no real profit from breeding if the breeding is done by a reputable breeder.

Here is some more answers to your question:

My dog is a purebred, but it didn’t come with any papers. Its parents weren’t registered. Can I still register it with AKC?

Answer:
No, unfortunately the sire and dam of your dog must be AKC registered and the litter, of which your dog is a member, must also have been registered to obtain an individual registration application for your dog.

How do I register my dog with the AKC?

Answer:
The sire and dam of your dog must be AKC registered and the litter, of which your dog is a member, must also be have been registered to obtain an individual registration application for your dog.

The registration process is described here:

I never received a dog registration application from my breeder. How can I get an application for my dog?
Answer:
Buyers should not accept a promise that this identification or the registration application will be sent later. It is the buyer’s responsibility to obtain complete identification of the dog as described below. If sufficient information to identify the dog within AKC records is not forthcoming, the buyer should seriously consider not purchasing the dog.

Answer 5

You can only get the registration papers *directly* from the original breeder, and even then *only* if the breeder contracted to do so as part of the sale. If you bought it from a pet store, tough luck. If you got it from a person who didn't register the parents *and* the litter, tough luck. If it was sold as a non-breeder or 'pet quality' puppy, you will *not* get papers and you're probably in breach of contract for not getting her fixed.

There are TOO MANY homeless and unwanted puppies already, and MILLIONS will die this year. Please don't bring any more into the world unless you really know what you're doing - and not to be mean but it sounds like you don't. Please, spay your dog instead. And next time you want a puppy, adopt one that needs a home instead of enriching a puppy miller.

Answer 6

What makes her such a great dog that you feel her genetic material needs to be passed on? And if she is such a great representation of the breed, why was she sold or given to you with no papers?

Answer 7

Unless her parents were registered you can not get papers for your dog. At best you could look up continental kennel club and follow their instruction and presto you could get papers for your dog but they wouldn't be worth the paper they are printed on. If this is only about getting a pup to keep for yourself what do you need papers for. I do also hope that you are aware of the fact that just because you breed your dog it does not mean her offspring will be anything like her. If this is only about wanting another dog as you claim why not adopt one that is already alive and in need of a home. Spay your dog and leave breeding to the reputable breeders that breed to keep up the breed standards.

Answer 8

If you know that she is registered, then papers can be recovered. For example, what if someone lost their dog's papers in a house fire. Gather info on her (like original owner's name or parents' names) and contact AKC and ask them (if it was with AKC that she was registered) There are also DNA tests that are done now.
Also check out CKC. They give papers to grown dogs for a fee. You have to apply, send photos, and other things but it can be done.

Answer 9

all trained dogs are great dogs.. this does not mean that they are of breeding quality,.......... you want to bring a litter into this world in order to keep one... does that even make any sense to you??? are you prepared to have all testing done on this dog.. are you prepared to draw up a contract for potential puppy buyers , are you prepared to offer a lifetime health guarantee on all these "great puppies: in other words are you willing to stand behind your work??? i think not... if you want a great dog.. go back to your breeder and get another dog.. obviously you didn't use a breeder because your pup would have papers....... DO NOT BECOME ANOTHER BACKYARD BREEDER LOOKING TO MAKE A QUICK BUCK.....

Answer 10

How is this question any different from your last? All the same answers still apply, if you cant prove her parents were fully registered purebreeds, than no you cannot register her. And FYI, each dog is different, and there is no way to ensure one of her pups will be as "great" as your hoping.
