Answer 3

UKC'S PURPLE RIBBON "PR" PEDIGREE

"In the early part of the 1930s, UKC registered and trademarked with the United States Department of Commerce
the Purple Ribbon Pedigree. This pedigree is only offered by the United Kennel Club, Inc., and is the mark of the
United Kennel Club purebred dog. The Purple Ribbon designation is awarded to eligible dogs at birth by the
United Kennel Club and is signified in all UKC records by the letters 'PR' appearing before the dog's name.
Purple Ribbon-bred dogs have six generations of known ancestors and all 14 ancestors within the last three
generations must be registered with UKC (indicated by all 14 ancestors having registration numbers). The
absence of a UKC registration number shows that there are some single-registered dogs in the pedigree and no
'PR' pedigree will be issued.
Breeders who wish to produce Purple Ribbon-bred puppies must either: breed Purple Ribbon-registered males to
Purple Ribbon-registered females, thereby assuring that the offspring will carry this prestigious designation; or
carefully research the pedigrees of potential sires and dams that are not Purple Ribbon bred. If an unregistered
ancestor is in the third generation of a sire or dam's pedigree, it is possible for that sire or dam to produce a first
generation Purple Ribbon-bred litter. If one or more single-registered dogs appear in the first or second
generation of the sire or dam's pedigree, the offspring will not be Purple Ribbon bred.
The registration certificates and pedigrees of Purple Ribbon-bred dogs bear the official 'PR'. The ancestors of
Purple Ribbon-bred dogs can be traced for six generations and possibly more-perhaps to the foundation stock of
the breed."

1.) Pit bull owners cannot have all the fun. I want a ultra rare, brindle-blue dog thing. I can sell it to idiots for 15 thousand a pop, even though the dog is ugly and can't make it out the front door without fainting. I'm talking about American Bully mutts, not real APBTS. LOL!! 2.) Just put them in the backyard and let them mate, who CARES if the female has a crappy temperament. The pups could sell for 8 to 20 thousand a pop, no training required of course. 3.) You will be the next Donald Trump selling those rare pups. 4.) You should breed your purple pups with the gotti line american mutt, so you can have enough pups to sell and make a KILLING!! Dang, I evny you. Make sure you get me a 2013 something before it hits the showroom floor. I will be your best friend forever. Lol! LEGIT: THAT PUP IS SO ADORABLE! I'm in love with puppies again, at least until they get on my nerves, then I'll want an older version of the breed. lol!! Also what have you seen in your breed being marketed as "special/rare/exotic" when its not? It can be color, size, imported lines etc. Rat Terrier-Merle, solid white,etc. Rat Terriers can NEVER be one solid color as that is a disqualification. Also, the tiny-toy rat terriers. The Teddy Roosevelt Terrier is the correct name for the smaller sized rattie. Don't let that small package fool buyers, they are a handful (as I own one). Stop pretending as if they actually bred these dogs that small and selling them for a leg to idiots. Some people are too stupid to research. EDIT: I am doing all the research I need for my next rat terrier, by reading,asking other owners when I come across them and studying my own rattie. So far, so good. Teensy is quite the handful at times, but I know how to really get her tired (it's a secret. lol!!) and the only thing she can do after wards is sleep the rest of the night away.

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

Purple ribbon means that the SIRE /MALE (or) DAMN/ FEMALE Is seven generations of a pure breed....if one either the sire or damn is purple ribbon but the other sire or damn IS NOT when breeding then the puppys wont be purple ribbon BOTH THE SIRE AND DAMN MUST BE PURPLE RIBBON WHEN BREEDING FOR THE PUPPYS TO BE PURPLE RIBBON...(UNLESS) its the seventh generation down fron a ukc registerd litter then THE PUPPYS BECOME PURPLE RIBBON..AND WHEN YOU HAVE A PURPLE RIBBON UKC REGISTERD BULLY THE DIFFERENCE IN PRICE VARYS BUT IS USUALLY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS MORE THEN A JUST UKC REGISTERD BULLY. I HOPE THIS WAS HELPFULL

Answer 7

I have 3 purple ribbon bred miniature American Eskimos, all registered with the United Kennel Club (aka UKC). It's simplay a term they use to identify dogs whose ancestors have been with the registry for at least three generations.

Answer 8

It's a term used by the UKC. It really means nothing about the breeding of a dog. It's mostly used in connection with American Pt Bulls.

Answer 9

It is a gimmick unknowledgeable breeders use to sell their poor quality puppies. If someone has to use something like that to make their puppies sound decent, they likely are not...
