If you want to register your puppies with the Kennel Club, their parents will need to be registered first.
You don't need to have a special kennel name or "affix" as it's known, you can call them anything you want, as long as it isn't registered to someone else already. Most regular breeders do have their own affix if they want to show or have the same "surname" for all the dogs they own & puppies they breed, but it cost's quite a bit of money. I can't say just how much these days, you'd need to contact the Kennel Club, as it's 27 years since i registered mine & the rules have changed since then. You pay an initial fee to set up the affix & then pay a yearly fee on top to keep it active. When I did mine you could pay a bigger fee to get it for life, but they stopped that some years ago.
If you aren't planning to show, & the puppies won't be shown either, then you don't really need to register the puppies at all. You could still write out a pedigree to give to the new owners, you can buy the forms from various places. You have to pay a fee to register each pup, then the new owner has to pay another KC fee to have the puppy transferred to their name on the registration card.
As far as the legalities of breeding go, you need to contact your local council. The rules vary, but it's usually something along the lines of....if you own two or more bitches from which you intend to breed then you need to be registered with the council. They will inspect your home & facilities before granting a lisence. If you just have one breeding bitch you don't need a lisence. They reinspect from time to time to make sure things are still ok.
Hope this helps a bit.
I've bred & shown another breed for a very long time, but not the yorkies.
They do seem to be getting harder to find. The only Yorkie I have now is twelve years old & I'm thinking now of getting another puppy but it's very hard to find a good one. |
