Have pure breed dog, have person that won't give papers. How can I go online and get reg.# to obtain papers?

Question

Person said it came from a certain bloodline but not so sure. I need to know how and where to look up and be sure dog came from who they say. Please help.

Answer 1

You can't. You need either the paperwork from the breeder or if you bought it from someone else you will need a proper transfer of ownership form.
You never buy a "registered " puppy/dog without obtaining the necassary paperwork at the time of sale..often either the dog isn't really purebred or isn't really registered and this is why papers aren't forthcoming.

DNA testing WILL NOT help you in the least..it does NOT tell if a dog is registered or if it is purebred!!!! I don't know why people keep mentioning it...it is only used to prove who the sire of a registered litter is if there is question and the sires DNA MUST be on record. It isn't required to be on record if the sire has produced less then a specified number of litters.

Answer 2

What club is your dog under? There are many kennel clubs out there. If you are talking about the AKC, here is some information and links that might help:

For DNA testing:

http://www.akc.org/dna/index.cfm

http://www.akc.org/dna/dna_faqs.cfm

Or you can do an online pedigree to trace back a certain amount of generations:

If you do not have the number, enter the breed and the exact spelling of the name. Click on "Search." This may bring up multiple dogs. Select the dog you want.

After selecting the initial dog, you can then perform the search using the dog selector that appears on the top of the reports page. You now have the option to use the selected dog for all reports, or you can use it only for the current report. If you do not select use this dog for all reports, the dog will revert back to the previous one after you order a report.

Good Luck

Answer 3

Did you sign a contract with a breeder? what did the contract say? was it a co-own? If it was, the breeder does not necessarily need to give you the registration papers. If there was no contract, see if you can get the numbers for the sire and the dam and contact the registry. If they said the dog was CKC (Continental Kennel Club) registered--then honey you've been hoed. The CKC is crap and is only in existance for the money. There are several kennel clubs, and depending which the kennel breeds to, you'd have to contact the breeder.

There is the United Kennel Club (UKC) American Kennel Club (AKC) American Dog Breeder Association (ADBA--used to be exclusively Bully breeds, but has since gone all breed) All American Dog Registry (AADR), Continental Kennel Club (CKC--which is crap and should not be confused with the Canadian Kennel Club--which is awesome)

Just curious--what breed is this dog?

Answer 4

I would really try to understand why the breeder would not give you the papers, especially if you paid the price of a pure bred dog "with papers." At minimum, you shouold ask for the dam & sire's registration numbers and contact the AKC for their pedigree. That will just give you insight into the dogs bloodline, but won't help you get him registered.

Answer 5

If you purchase a registered pup (AKC or other) you should receive papers. If you did not then you have a problem with your breeder. If the breeder never registered the litter then you can not get papers for the dog. If the breeder did, then you need to contact them and ask them for the litter # and your papers. If they deny you then you can call AKC (if that is where they were registered) and put in a complaint. This process can take a lot of time. Good luck.

Answer 6

If you happen to did not get papers with him you then most commonly is not going to get papers. To ensure that that to happen the mothers and fathers would have got to be registered and the breeder would need to provide the knowledge to register him as good. Name and ask the breeder but if nothing was stated when you got him then I doubt the dad and mom had been registered. When I received obtained my GSD puppy she used to be bought on a limited registration (meaning I haven't any right to breed her) with the AKC. When you bought yours the breeder must have said whatever about papers/registering him if that was once possible. You can not register him with out his lineage being registered sadly. Sorry.

Answer 7

If the person will not give up the papers. Contact AKC and ask them.

Usually you cannot register the dog unless the previous owner signs the papers. You have to know the registered names of the dogs in order to look them up.

What is the hold up?

Answer 8

well contact whoever the registration is supposed to be through . And if you find out that the dogs are not registered and you paid quite a bit for the dog then please take this person to court they commited a fraud . Yes fraud plain and simple . and from now on when you buy a dog or a puppy never leave without the papers . good luck to you and I hope everything turns out well . I hope I helped.

Answer 9

When someone sells or gives away a registered dog, they must sign over the papers to the new owner. If they don't, you can't get them. You could get the dog's pedigree but you would have to have the breeder name, name of the sire and dam, along with their registration numbers.

Answer 10

If you paid for this dog, you should have the registration papers. Otherwise the dog actually belongs to who ever name is on the papers.
There isn't a way to obtain the registration number from AKC on line. You have to have the registration number to look it up.
Who ever you got the dog from should give you the papers or at least give you the registration number.
