Show quality pedigree puppies don't come without papers...you've been sold a "pup"!
Contact the breeder and ask about his papers.
Contact the Kennel Club if you don't know his breeder, his name was registered shortly after birth.
The breeders name is usually incorporated into his title. eg - "Puppy of Where" - "Puppy" is his name - "Where" is breeders name.
Need further help? Feel free to e-mail me; I'll help all I can - I do love a project and hate to think of you being sold a supposed pedigree that came without any papers!!!

If you bought your puppy from a reputable breeder then he/she will have registered the puppies with the Kennel Club, if he/she hasn't done this then I'm afraid you can't do anything about it. When I picked up my last puppy (she is a 10 months old GSD) I was given her pedigree papers at the same time, I don't show but as I have kept this breed for 32 years now I like to study my dogs pedigrees to see if they are related and how far back, so you don't need to want to show to be interested in papers.

First of all a pedigree is nothing more than a family tree. You can only get papers from the breeder and no other way. Well I guess there are online people I hear providing papers but they will have nothing to do with your dog and are not legal. Registration is all up to the breeder.They can even provide you with papers but no breeding rights if they want.This is to protect the breed standards and is a good thing. It stops pet quality dogs from being used for breeding. Sorry, if the breeder isn't giving you any you will not be getting any. Call AKC and ask.I've registered many litters with them.

Where did you get him from? They should provide you with all relevant paperwork. If you paid a pedigree price, you should make sure he has a proper pedigree and that both his parents were hip scored. German shepherds have a problem with hip dysplasia (the ball of the hip joint not sitting properly in the socket) and the lower the parents' hip scores, the less likely this is to happen.

This doesn't mean anything if you don't intend to breed. However, if you bought him from a reputable person they should be able to provide you with the paperwork. Check with the person you bought him from, and also the agreements you made when you bought him - pedigrees don't always mean anything.
I was given a pedigree with my old Burmese cat, but the agreement was that she was a pet quality only. This didn't bother me, and as I wasn't interested in breeding the pedigree was a bonus!

if you didnt receive any papers-pedigree papers or Kennel Club registration papers-he will NOT have any! and you will not be able to acquire any unless you ask the breeder of your pup why he hasnt any 'papers'. it does sound like he will not have had any health checks relevant to the breed-haemophillia, hips, elbows or eyes-and he may well develop these later in life-then again he may not-its just a bit of a gamble when buying a pup of unknown parentage as opposed to spending that little bit extra and getting a pup with a tracable pedigree and KC reg, when the responsible breeder has all their stock health checked!

If he was a "proper Pedigree",papers normally always come with dog,list of past relatives..Go back to the person who sold him,ask them..Sounds dodgy regarding not giving you the papers,when you bought him...

Only the breeder of your dog could register him with the Kennel Club. If he was sold without registration documents, that probably means his parents weren't registered either, so there is no way you could register him. In fact, you have no guarantee that he is a purebred GSD. Sadly, it also means that his parents probably weren't tested for hip or elbow dyspalsia or for haemophilia A either. He was bought as a pet, keep him that way & forget about papers. No other registration is worth the paper it is written on.

Unless you want to enter dog shows, papers mean NOTHING. Talk to a kennel culb regarding the papers.

are you able to breed her? specific. would desire to you breed her? perchance. yet no longer in trouble-free terms via fact she's organic bred. forget the folk who say she would desire to be a prepare dogs, CH, etc., to reproduce her. no longer each dogs worth of breeding has to compete. yet you may desire to study up on the familiar and the well-being issues uncomplicated to the breed. This puppy is barely 10 wks, you do no longer even have her yet, so now could be no longer the time to think of roughly breeding. enhance her amazing, prepare her amazing, get each and all of the well-being exams mandatory, exceedingly hip/elbow xrays at age 2. If she exams out wholesome and has no disqualifying faults, mutually with lacking teeth, flopped ear, etc., and her temperament is impeccable, in trouble-free terms then would desire to you think approximately breeding. sturdy success along with your new puppy!
