I had someone i bought a puppy from a year or so ago, try to pull a fast one on me , trying to make me use his "unregistered" kennel name by filling out the registration paper with his name on it. Since I planned on showing, I didn't want to do that. this person is a breeder and does not show. I called AKC, they looked it up and told me the kennel is not registered and to white it out and name the dog anything I wanted to. In shows, the winner dog always gets his breeder listed anyway but it is the name on the paper that really stands out. |
But that dog is not actually your breeding therefor in my opinion, the kennel name of the breeder should be in the registered name.
In Canada, under our Canadian Kennel Club rules, we have to register and pay for the registration of any puppies whether we keep them or not. Most of my puppies are already registered with their registered names at the time that I place them. As the breeder, our kennel name must come first in the registered name. I can put the other kennel name of say the owner of the sire if I wish and indeed my Dandy Man has just that, he is Am/Can Ch. Loriben's Jenan Dandy Man Can with Jenan being the her kennel name and she is the owner of his sire. I finished his championship in Canada, she put is AKC championship on him.
I would never expect to buy a dog from a well known reputable breeder that it wouldn't have their kennel name on the dog at the time I buy it. I never would buy a show dog less than about 8 mos old and it is already named.
Every puppy or dog that leaves my home for a new home has my kennel name on it with the registered name already in place. It is my breeding.
Anyone can give whatever call name they wish to any puppy they buy. SOme of the people that buy a puppy from me keep the call name, some don't.
