Question

diffrence? i know the intentions are the diffrence but is that it? what if you say its for personal but end up breeding it? i know they charge more for dogs an cats if you say its going to be used for breeding

the thing is you can be asking about one single animal an they will ask what you will do with it like it will just change the price

Answer 1

First of all, generally breeders don't like to sell animals to be bred. In fact, when you buy a pet from a breeder they usually require you to sign a contract promising that the pet will be spayed/neutered and that it will not be bred.

A show quality pet with a pedigree (which is often used for breeding) costs much more than a pet quality dog or cat. If you want a pet for breeding that has a pedigree, it will cost more.

Answer 2

In some states that may be an illegal practice. The only reason you should technically have to pay more is if the dog is a proven champion show dog or has won championships for obedience.
AKC is the best registration. Get everything in writing. Pay by check or credit card. State the price willing to be paid and don't sway one way or the other. Unethical dog breeders are going to use every tactic and unethical practice available to swindle people out of their money.

Answer 3

Breeders want to know your intentions because they want to keep their linage pure. For example if a breeder has a champion dog but there are a few puppies that he has produced that you don't think are up to the breed standard, you would not want to sell these puppies to someone who would breed them.

It's not necessarily a tactic to raise prices, rather than to control a breeding program that you've worked long to achieve.

Answer 4

People who plan to breed want the best of litter. So if it's just for personal they want to hold the better quality dog back. Dogs have standards that they have to meet to be a show dog. Those who breed often want to show. My Sam is pure breed but he is at the top of his height limit for his breed. If i only wanted to breed I would have chosen a smaller pup from the litter. But for me his personality was the clincher.

Answer 5

generally the type of contract you are going to have to sign if the animal is going to be a pet there is generally a clause in there that you have to have proof the animal was spayed or neutered in a certain amount of time or they will take the animal back. if you get a breeding contract you get the rights to breed and usually register the kittens and puppies.

Answer 6

They may want to know just to see what kind of home the cat is going to. other times it may be for health reasons. i know with certain small breed dogs, sometimes the female dog is too small to have any puppies and the breeder wants to look out for the best interest of the animal.

Answer 7

When a dog is AKC registered (has papers), the breeder can decide whether or not the dog's puppies will be registered also. An AKC dog can be sold on limited registration which means that it is an AKC registered dog but its puppies will not be allowed to be registered. This means that you must be honest that you will breed the dog if you want to register your puppies.

Answer 8

The difference is, when you're going to breed them, you're breeding your dog with the genes THEY have altered to make a perfect dog. It's only fair that since they took CARE of the puppies, and PAID for a Sire dog to mate with their Female dog that they get a share in the profit. Since you MAKE money selling YOUR pure-bred PERFECT puppies.

Answer 9

Papers, quality of background! Are higher with breeding animals!
