How do I determine if my dog's parents were Purple Ribbon bred?

Question

I recently bought a miniature American Eskimo puppy, and the previous owner gave me an application for permanent registration. While filling it out, I realized it has a section on the parents being Purple Ribbon bred, which is gibberish to me, seeing as this is the first non-pound dog I've ever owned. In front of both the dam and sire's names is 'PR', though, does that stand for Purple Ribbon?

Thanks for your help, I'm such a newb at this. :)

Answer 1

Ya Know... I am stumped on this one.... outa my league

We had horses that were "bred in the Purple"... but didn't hear about dogs that were.

Did a Yahoo search and found it in the UKC Registery for you hon.

"Complete UKC six and seven-generation pedigrees are available only to Purple Ribbon-bred dogs. A complete seven-generation pedigree additionally requires that the dog's sire and dam be Purple Ribbon bred. Upon request, a seven-generation pedigree will be issued to any owner of a Purple Ribbon-bred dog whose sire or dam is not Purple Ribbon-bred but some areas of the pedigree may not be complete."
