Dog papers?

Question

I just need some clarification on something. If i was to buy a "purebred" dog, with a copy of the parents papers my dog would not have its own papers unless the breeder was registered?

Answer 1

A breeder of AKC dogs (sire and dam must be akc registered) should have the litter registered I believe and then you get paperwork to allow you to register the specific puppy you take home. You can also get the pedigree, which will tell you what dogs your puppy was produced from beyond just the sire and dam.

Answer 2

With the AKC, the breeder registers the litter, and is sent a litter packet with the puppy applicatons for registration. You are given an application when you purchase a pup that you need to send in to the AKC along with $20 now, (the rate has gone up to register a dog with the AKC) to register your pup. All the pups in a litter have the same litter number with different numbers at the end, like 01, 02, 03, ect... A breeder does have the right to sell a pup without papers, they are not required by the AKC to give out papers on a pup in a litter. Now a days the breeders can register a litter online with the AKC. The papers come back normally within about 5 days after doing this. Years ago it used to take the AKC about 5 weeks to get them back to the breeder after registering a litter. You can register your new pup online as well after you get him from the breeder. The registration papers come back quick as well this way.

Answer 3

When both parents of a dog are registered, then the litter that results from the breeding can be registered after the puppies are born. After the litter is registered then a temporary registration paper is provided for each of the surviving puppies of said litter.

When you purchase the puppy you should also be given the puppy's pre-registration paper. As the new owner you will then submit this paper and pay for the permanent registration of the dog that you purchased.

The breeder is not registered. There is a certification by the USDA for breeders, but this does not have anything to do with whether or not the dogs they breed are registered.

Answer 4

The breeder would have to have registered the litter in order for you to register your puppy. Even if the breeder sent copies of the parents' registrations, your dog would not be registered it would just be a purebred.

Answer 5

If your puppy comes from a registered litter AKC/UKC CKC(Canadian Kennel Club) will send an individual registration application to the breeder for each puppy in the litter.When the breeder sells a puppy she gives the buyer the application that goes with that puppy. The buyer tehn picks a name for the puppy and sends the application in along with the appropriate fee and the puppy then gets it's individual registration and is registered in the buyers name.

It has absolutely nothing to do with a breeder being registered. Breeders are NOT registered with AKC/UKC/CKC. There is no individual member/breeder registrations in these associations.

Answer 6

well both mother and father of the puppies have to have "papers" from the same Kennel Club. When you buy a registered puppy the breeder will usually give you " Puppy Papers" where it states the sire and dams names and registration numbers, the pups breed, date of birth, sex, and markings. There is one such paper for each puppy in the litter.
The new owner usually sends that piece of paper back to the Kennel Club to get the puppy registered and transferred into their name.

Hope that helped.

Answer 7

No! If both parents are registered, the breeder should have registered the litter in his/her name. Each pup gets their own individual registration papers for the new owners to register in their name.

Do not buy a pup if the breeder claims they've sent off for the papers but haven't gotten them back yet. DO NOT LEAVE WITHOUT THE REGISTRATION APPLICATION.

When we got my sheltie he was already registered by the breeder with the kennel name in his name and we just gave him a nick name (cody)
