CKC and AKC and more questions

[neenahlawncare]

I really dont want to breed anything but if i was i wanted to know what i was in for. I will be buying a AKC Yorkie, to show and thought maybe i would breed her if i could find somethign with a similar pedigree.

As for mixing a Yorkie with Chihuahua, both mine are males so no worries about babies there. They are going to get snipped next week. before we bring a lady into our home.

All this thread was started for was to answer some questions i have on how a dog gets registered. I plan to buy a reg dog to show and i never know maybe breed with some great pedigree male. But for now just show. I understand i can have dog and breed them to death but i have no intent on that. maybe a few litters, but they would be with family and more then likly we would keep many of them..

Thanks for all the answers.

basically i think your question was answered. If not just let us know and we will try to explain further.
You are right on trying to understand it BEFORE you get a new puppy so you will know what you getting into.

One more advice if i may: read the other posts by the people who are CURRENTLY showing. Things change from time to time. Before you buy a show prospect research a lot. You are going to pay much more for a show prospect than a regular pet so you better be ready to choose wisely. You better off getting an older puppy than a younger one. You may have to sign a contract that you will be "championing" the puppy and that is time consuming and expensive so you need to be prepared. Most people that have good show prospects will not handle a "promising" puppy to a novice unless they develop a relationship with them before, so be ready to "hop" on a waiting list.

If you think i am trying to make things sound hard, please be sure that i am NOT !

If you are as prepared as possible and you are doing that , and AS HONEST AS POSSIBLE with the breeder you are getting your puppy from you have a great chance to be very happy. Now, you need to be able to find a good and honest breeder, that is your responsibility and that is why i recommending you reading the other posts from people that are CURRENTLY showing. You will get sort of familiar on what to expect.

I wish you the best of luck !

XOXO

You are right to bring this to the OP attention.

It is a long and not so easy to obtain a show dog from a reputable breeder. Yes, there will a be a contract with co-ownership. Most contracts now contain a 2 generation pedigree and will not allow you to breed until the dog is Championed and any get or produce from said dog will only be allowed to be placed on a spay/nueter contract. Be ready to jump through hoops.

With that said, make sure you do your homework, the breeder you obtain your dog from should become your mentor.

I know things change from time to time. If the OP is well prepared on what to expect he/ she will have a better chance to get what they want out of their search.

It is very unfortunate when people do not know for sure what they want and/or are totally not-educated about how dog "world" works.
Tell me about it !

What's even more unfortunate is the exhibitor/breeders have had to get more tight and selective on who they place their show dogs with. Some of their/lines have been abused so badly.....

Even if one is not showing, i learned the hard way that you can never be strict enough ! I had a crazy experience i do even want to begin talking about . Although you may know what i am referring to.

The more people are educated about, the better it is for everyone !!!!
