AKC Registration So, I just got a chihuahua and she didnt come with papers at all. I bought her from a family. I was wondering if I was able to get her registered without knowing who her parents were. She is clearly a Chi and she weights 3.5 pounds at a year old. She is also still intact. I dont want to breed her, but I was just interested if it was at all possible. |
if the dog came with no papers there is not way to registered her or him thru AKC...because both parents would have to be registered thru AKC...and the litter that he/she was born in must be registered... There are other clubs that clubs may allow him/her to be registered with Vet reference letter and photos...hope that helps! |
I have heard CKC in Walker, LA registers by photos??? |
What's your reasoning for wanting papers if you're not going to breed her? To show her in obedience or agility perhaps? If so, you don't need a pedigree to obtain an ILP number. Go to akc.org and surf the site for an ILP application. It'll have the instructions on there like: writing up why you believe her to be a purebred Chihuahua and what pictures you need to submit and at what angles. I'm sure you'll get your ILP number and THEN you can compete! ;) (she'll have to be spayed before the number is given to you though, since you're not interested in breeding, that shouldn't be a problem for you....it'd be the only obstacle I can think of...) |
By the way, I hope you do show her, we don't have enough of those little guys in the rings outside of conformation!! Big things do come in small packages! ;) |
if she is just a pet, then you don't need papers. all they are going to do is take your money (i don't mean that in a bad way, they do help some causes ) but if she doesn't need to be registered, then why spend the extra money? |
