Breeding AKC and APRI
 

Registered yorkies. IS this possible? Can the babies be registered? The Mom is APRI and the dad is AKC.

The pups would have to be registered APRI. AKC won't recognize other registers but APRI will.

do you know the background of the APRI female?

like the previous poster, apri will accept akc. akc will only accept akc

:yeahthat:

they have been
 

tested., health wise. I just got the female over a year ago. she is 4., she had 2 litters before.

do you know why she sold you a female that has already had two litters?

the reason i am asking is apri will accept anything that looks like a yorkie even if it is not purebred. also, someone could have sold her under limited registration NOT TO BE BRED, and the person decided to do so and registered the female with another registry.

i am completely new to this. i have doubts on breeding them. the female is APRI reg. what does this mean? is it completely different than AKC? she is purebred and i have her pedegree.

she wasnt getting enough attention, she said. she is such a sweetheart. i love her to pieces.

that is totally not true. APRI requires at least a 3 generation pedigree. Most APRI dogs I have seen trace back to AKC. APRI is a stand up registry and is AKC biggest competition.

Is that right? :) Good to know. Thank you so much.

APRI is one of the "alternative" registries that was formed when the AKC toughened its registration requirements by requiring DNA testing, mandatory kennel inspections, etc. This particular registry was formed to protect the professional pet industry - pet shops and puppy mills. It is the only registry endorsed by Petland. The APRI keeps the breeder's contact information secret so the buyer has no recourse if the puppy is sick. :mad:

America's Pet Registry, Inc. was begun as insurance for the pet industry and for the world of pet lovers. The professional pet industry is dependant on a registration service for the purebred animals it raises. Proposals are constantly introduced before the major registry services that would restrict the pet industry. Therefore, it is imperative that the pet industry have a registry service available -- a service that represents the basic interests of pet owners and the pet industry, and one that offers economical and friendly services to all.



· Restrict the Pet Industry? How?


The idea of restricting the pet trade through registry services is not new, and most breed clubs, major kennel clubs, and cattery organizations discourage or prohibit selling animals wholesale to distributors or retailers. Some simply deny registration of any dog or cat sold through a pet store even if that pet carries registration papers. While most currently grudgingly accept for registration the animals sold through pet stores, the possibility of that changing is very real and always present. Also, other proposals that would severely limit the supply of purebred puppies and kittens available to the pet-loving public are constantly being made by and to various registry services to restrict the breeding and registration of cats and dogs. If these proposals had become policy before APRI's inception, there would have been no time to organize an effective, reputable alternative registration service. The industry needed it's own registry service well established before a catastrophe, and, fortunately it has achieved this with America's Pet Registry.

I have done some reading about this registry and it seem to have come a long way. They still need some work but they are offering dog shows.
To evaluate breeding stock, which is what you are doing in AKC shows.
The dogs have to be micro chipped (and scanned at show) so the correct points go to the correct dog.
They have a code of Ethics

The only thing they are not doing at this point ..is they are not DNA dogs.
But, records can be falsified in any registery and I didn't see any thing about inspections.

You made a point that APRI Keeps Breeders contact information a secret.
Is this only if dogs are sold just through petshop??
(Not total sure here)
But, I think it's the same way with AKC if the dogs are petshop puppies.

You said APRI is endorsed by Petland.
Well, AKC has been in Missouri and Patting the HUNTE'S CORP on the back for the fine job they are doing. Which they are the biggest Broker of puppies being supplied to pet stores that are coming from alot of the puppymills around here.

There seem to be an awful lot of people who are getting fed up with AKC and switch over to APRI.

IMO...One just need to do their home work with any breeder they are dealing with regardless of the registry.

I agree with the above posting. I had a yorkie that I bought for breeding purposes that was AKC. Before I bred her I was contacted by AKC stating that the dog's papers were no good. (This dog was 3yrs old.) The AKC dna'd a dog in my dogs pedigree and it came back as not related to the dog or dogs it was registered to. (It was very vague on the information.) So what good does it do 3yrs down the road????? What if I'd shown this dog? All the points and money I would have spent would have been gone for nothing!
