1. who registers the puppy you or the breeder
2. what does it mean to have papers? (meaning what are they used for ?)
3. how does papers affect prices?
4. whats the backlash for not registering
p.s. I just wanted to get a little information so please educate me on your experiences ....................and ladies please be nice and lets make this a happy informative thread. thanks in advance  |
I'm not a breeder but maybe this will help.....
1. The breeder registers the litter and you get your papers when you get your pup. Yes, you do have to fill in your information, puppy's official name and pay a fee to have him registered in your name.
2. Papers show ownership, parents names, birthdates etc... They also are needed if you show or breed.
3. Most people don't want to pay big $$ for a pup that isn't registered and will want to know whey they aren't...as most pure breeds are.
4. I really don't know of any backlash for not registering your dog...it's really a matter of preference.
