Are Registration papers necessary when buying a pet? Well i think they are. In Canada under our Canadian Kennel Club rules, we are required to provide and pay for the registration papers on any dog or puppy we sell transferred to the new owners name. The registration actually belongs to the dog or puppy being sold. I am aware in the US the AKC does not have that requirement if you are buying for pet. The AKC from what I understand is trying to encourage breeders to provide the registration for the new owner to send in if they want to. The regsitration paper for any dog or puppy, verifies that this a purebred dog, has the registration number and registered name for the dog as well as who the parents are and their registration numbers, date of sale, breeders name, date of birth that sort of info. Under some contracts, spay/neuter will be done and verified before papers will be provided which is reasonable. The info on the registration certificate is also only as good as the reputation of the breeder so bear that in mind when you are looking for a puppy. If you are buying purebred, paying for a purebred, I think the registration verifying that this is a purebred should be a requirement of any buyer. Thoughts? |
Its also helpful if your dog is lost and found but you have to prove its yours at least you have the registration stating you have a pure bred yorkie |
I send in my AKC registration even if only for pets that are to be spayed/neutered. I want to contribute to the history, provide a record that the dog is mine, and support the AKC and their efforts. A nice side benefit....registering your dog with AKC gives you 60 days of free health insurance, with option to continue. That is no small matter if a puppy comes down with a disease or injury requiring expensive vet treatment. |
Never bred, never will, but I would like to get the papers, just to put in the folder and read all the cool dog names from the pedigree. |
When I got Pixie she was registered to the breeder since she was 13 months old and going to keep her originally. I said I didn't care about the AKC papers. She said that it was in effect her birth cetificate and I needed to register her so I did. I also like looking at the pedigree. |

I wanted to (once again in this post) comment that its really important for people to know the difference between Limited Registration and Full Registration. Look it up with the AKC, CKC, or YTCA, their definitions are all basically the same but I really believe that all dogs should come with a Limited Registration (in the least) for all the important reasons listed above-if you plan to show or breed you need a Full Registraion. |

And breeders are not allowed to charge for this service to the puppy buyer. I also like the microchipping, and keep my breeders name as a second contact person on the file. So for those that don't know if you wish to show in both countries you need to have both an AKC and a CKC number. |
