Her health is my only concern. She is off the HOOK! lol Im sure she is more than fine. I found the receipt in there - she was a bit over 900.00 - chipped and all shots and vet checks free for 6 months.
So - how do I read this? So that I can try to locate her family? That would be awesome to see what her family looks like! That excites me!
Once again! Thank Y'all for helping me out. I was freaking hehe. |
I disagree with your statement, "Far too many canines are AKC and pure mutts. It use to have an impact." The AKC is the only registry that, I believe, does have impact. They are also the only registry that does routine unannounced kennel inspections and DNA testing. However there are lots of other registries out there called "paper registries" and have no real rules on what's allowed to be registered. Many people are led to believe that because they have a "registered" dog it must be more valuable, but unless the dog is AKC, you really can't be too sure of it's bloodlines. The AKC is very strict on record keeping and breeders are suspended for "fudging" on this, so many of these "alternative" registries have popped up.
This however, makes no difference in the dogs themselves, only in which breeders you are choosing to support. The amount of love you have for your dog should have nothing to do with "papers".
