At the same note, I have found out that both the parents of my Treasure and Maximus are akc registered I am working on it now with the previous owners of my babies to get them registered. They need to contact the breeder that they used the stud service done. I have also made it clear that I would also like the name of breeder they went to and bought their mother from which was the same breeder that they went for the stud service. So I was also happy to hear that they actually came from a champion bloodline....Now, just need to get all the necessary documents and proof needed and get my babies registered. Previous owner explained to me that the breeder was charging her an extra $500 on top of the cost for stud service! Is that the same way some of you breeders work as well??? I think that was crazy, but at the end, they ended up not paying the extra $500 for the papers and that is why they were never registered to begin with. So, I guess this would be good news especially once I find out that breeder is indeed a reputable breeder.. Well lets hope all of that turns well and all is good. thanks again to all!

Several tests will need to be performed. Bile Acids at 16 weeks and 6 months of age. CERFs & OFA; these have different ages that they'll need to be performed. OFA at 2 years to be valid. So, you'll need to monitor your pups very carefully. However, your vet can keep an eye on their growth patterns; checking their knees and hips. There are other hidden problems that can occur as in all pups. Kidney's, heart, etc and other things that can show up as they get older, but this can show up in any breeding, not because these pups are inbred.
$500.00 on top of a stud fee for registration. Not at all something we do charging for AKC papers. What we do is set two different prices; one for pet quality pups (this is limited registration and one for show quality pups (this is an open registration). Their is never a charge for the AKC papers. What we do have is a contract and each contract is dependent on the dog.
