Buying Puppies?
A family member is thinking of buying a puppy and has been told that they have to send off for the registration documents as it is a pedigree, and that they have to pay separately for these documents. Is this usual procedure. Puppy is advertised for sale in newspaper. Cost of puppy £100.
Answers:
It all depends what you want the puppy for. If it is just as a family pet then no you do not need to do this, however if it is to show or breed from then yes you do. Hope this helps
get a rescued dog, putting money in breeders pockets,disgraceful!!
just make sure , that the puppy is healthy , has the paper work , is de sexed etc
Check with your local council for more guidelines
that's not unusual. you don't have to get them unless you are going to breed then it would be wise to have.
I just bought a golden puppy from a breeder, i have to pay the advertised price = $300, then we have to register him on AKC, and also our local area. I think either way, it's safer to register your puppy, it's just personal preference..:)
yes if they want to register it with the kennel club the breeder normally registers the birth but the new owner as to register ownership, when i was in sheltie a few years ago it was only really neccessary to register if you were going to breed or show your new pup. If in doubt contact the kennel club or ask the breeder for advise.
dont buy it - most reputable breeders would already have the pups kennel club registered and wouldnt make buyers pay for this - it is all part of a breeders reputation so it is worth their while to have already done this for you
The breeder supplies the litter registration papers and you need to send those off to register his name and your ownership, This is always the case, The breeder has to pay for litter registration and you have to pay for the individual registration, The pedigree is sometimes offered with the puppy but most often that too (if wanted) comes from the Kennel cub you register with.
You should check it first. The pedigree I mean. I just bought an expensive puppy. Check it, and than buy it. Mine cost a lot, it's because if the pedigree is bigger the price go up. So watch out that somebody doesn't fool you.
Good luck, puppies bring joy and happiness in the house. :)
if you buy dogs from a breeder farm where they crank out puppies like waffles from the Eggo cpmpany, there is a high chance of it being blind, deaf, or having heart trauma, a tumor, brain disfunctions, constant seizures, a weakened immune system, limp or totally unusable legs, breathing problems, anger issues, possible rabies, over active liver, personality kinks, inevitable dierhea, need i go on? All these problems can be caused by over-breeding. In my opinion, breeder's are cruel people who force dog's to have puppies so they can sell them away to people who expect a happy, healthy dog like in the photograph, but get a sickly, abused dog who needs much more care then any dog they ever saw. Rescued dogs, on the other hand were prepped for adoption and are in the best condition the shelter could restore them to, and you know you are giving the animal a second chance or even third at life as a happy pet. they might not be pure-bred, but does that really even compare with being an adorable, helpless little puppy that needs your help to become an older, stronger, happier dog than they could have ever imagined they could be while huddled in the corner watching there mother and siblings get beaten cruelly for doing nothing at all to annoy anyone. I hope I have painted an elaborate picture and that your choice is now clear.
If buying a purebred dog, the puppy will have its litter registration and the application for individual registration will be completed by the breeder when a puppy is sold. Most, but not all breeders, will send the application in to AKC or CKC whatever the case may be, but I have never heard of a reputable breeder who does not provide a pedigree with his puppies.
The pedigree should come with the puppy and the puppy should be individually registered, though the new owner may have to pay the registration fee (which is minimal), but when I was breeding dogs, I paid all the registrations.
As you mention Pounds sterling I assume this is in Britain, so here goes. The breeder will have registered the pups with the Kennel Club (the breeder HAS to do that to supply the name and date of birth of Mum and Dad, also the date of mating etc, and supply puppy names). You get this registration, SIGNED by the breeder showing they have sold the pup to the new owner. The new owner then sends this registration, showing the new owner details, to the Kennel Club with a fee (it tells you on the paper what that fee is now), and eventually receives the new registration which shows who now owns this particular dog. It's worth doing as it DOES show you now own the dog.(its kinda like when you buy a car) Remember a pedigree is only a record of the dog's parents, grandparents etc, not a guarantee of health.
Yes that's right. I had to pay £12 to have registration papers changed into my name. Works the same as a log book on a car. Worth while doing at least the puppy is legally there's then.
When I got my pup, we got the kennel club paper work a few weeks after bringing him home. All you need to do is to send it back to the kennel club with £10 to get the dog in your name.
first of all if the dog is a pedigree dog, it should cost more than that! s for sending of registration, the breeder should do that as soon as the pups are born. If not then you will need to get the pedigre details of the mum and dad and give the kennel club a call. Best to do it before the pup is taken home just in case you are given false details and end up with a 'mutt'. The other option is to register the pup as a working trials and obedience dog, but this is open to any breed including mongrels, so if you want proof of urity, get the breeder to do it, or do it before you purchase the pup, else you could be getting scammed
sometimes yes, you should have had some details from the breeder, it costs about a fiver from kennel club, unless you want a big certificate with the family blood line on and that 25 quid.. A good breeder would already have the paper work for you to sign and send off, however use this link it may help.

If the puppy is only going to be a pet then there is no need for registration at all. This is only necessary if you intend to either breed or show the dog. If it is going to be a pet only then I would say the only things you need to have done is vaccinnations & possibly have it spayed or neutered to prevent "accidents" later.
Your vet can also arrange for it to be microchipped in case it ever gets lost.
It is also a good idea to have the puppy insured. Your vet will be able to advise on this. Costs around £5 to £7 per month for a dog.
