I see what you're talking about at that other site. I'm unsure how to read that as well. 7 pounds to register a dog and your done... I didn't look to see additional requirements.
I'm unfamiliar with European or British registries but here is what I did when I bred my chesapeake 20ish years ago and why. I wanted a pup I could train from day one once weaned. I had an AKC male chesapeake that was the most stubborn dog I had ever met. I had read that was common with male chesies so I wanted a female AKC pup. Common practice at the time was stud fee provided first pick of the litter in lieu of cash. I sought out an AKC registered female seeking stud services. Contract, service, pregnancy and weaning completed I received the sweetest most loving chesapeake you have ever met. Beautiful to boot! Here's where it relates to your situation. I chose AKC even though other registries exist. They are the big dog here. Every other registry is second fiddle here. If you're looking for what I think you're looking for, use the registry that is the big dog in Europe or Britain and work down to the breeder from there. Just my opinion. In the future, while answering the question, what kind of dog is that, and are you sure, you can fluff up your chest and respond with a known registry and not receive that questioning look. Does that give you a quality dog... not necessarily... ya gotta keep doing that homework all the way down to the individual breeder. Does that fit with what you are asking? Does that apply to your situation in Britain? |
