AKC Question....
 

Okay, I have a question about AKC registrations. If your dog isn't AKC registered, but you are planning to bred her to a male who is AKC registered can you register the pups with AKC? My puppy is registered, but not through AKC. And another question, if my dog isn't AKC registered is she considered a "trash" dog? She has champions in her bloodline, so I don't consider her to have a bad bloodline, it's just that she's not AKC registered and when I tried to get her AKC registered they said that I couldn't get her registered. I was just wondering, because I plan to breed her, but if no one is going to buy her puppies because they are not AKC registered I'm not even going to bother waisting my time breeding her. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

NO, the pups can not be registered., AKC will never allow it.
NO, dog is considered a "trash" dog, not even mixed mutts at the pound. Some registeries are better then others, but the dogs themselves are all the same..DOGS.

:eek: "trash" dog" AS IF!!!!!
No way!!!!
I have NEVER heard of TRASH DOGS!!!

The AKC is not going to let you register puppies
if both parents are not AKC. That's just the way it goes.

She has a pedigree. She's just obviously not AKC registered and what I want to know is will people still buy the puppies without the AKC registry. She's registered through the American Pet Registry. So, like I said she has a pedigree and all, but without the AKC registry I'm just wondering if people will still buy the puppies, because I am going to get them registered through the American Pet Registry and they will come with their pedigrees. I just hear a lot of people saying that they only want to buy a puppy that is AKC registered. What is the difference? I just don't get it. Sorry about my venting, but I just was wondering some things about the AKC registry and what not.

No Dogs are trash dogs. If the one parent is AKC and the Other CKC then the pups can be CKC.

Don't get me wrong, I don't consider Kayla a "trash" dog. I have dogs that aren't registered at all. Like, I have a Dachshound that's not purebred and a collie that is not purebred. They don't have pedigrees either, but I love them none-the-less. I'm just wondering if the rest of the world will consider her puppies mediocre just because they are not AKC registered. I just now looked over her pedigree and she has three champions in her bloodline. So, I know she's not a "trash" dog. That and I bought her not because of where she was registered, but because she was the puppy I wanted. I saw her at the pet store and just had to have her and I don't regret getting her. Personally I don't care where the dog is registered as long as it is registered and they can prove to me that the dog is purebred and not a mix breed. Not that there's anything wrong with mixed breed dogs. Just I really want to breed her and sell the puppies, I'm just wondering how much people will rely on whether or not the puppies are AKC.

Did they tell you why she couldn't be registered with the AKC?

What's CKC? Never heard of that registry, but then again I'm new to the whole breeding thing. I know for sure that I can get her puppies registered through where Kayla is registered as long as the male is registered through any well known registry like AKC. So, I'm not worried about whether or not I can get the puppies registered, as I know I can. Have you heard of American Pet Registry? It's what Kayla is registered through. So, I guess that makes her APR registered. :p

When they emailed me back they said if the dam and sire are not both registered through AKC then she couldn't be registered either. Both her parents are registered through American Pet Registry and that's also where she's registered. They all have pedigrees, which I think is the most important part, but then again what do I know. :p

No dog is consider any less just cause is not AKC register. My Gucci is not AKC register, she is register with the CBKC (Brazil). I think people still will buy even if the pup is not AKC, they might not want to pay as much thou.JMO. I really dont know much about the differents registries. I really didnt care if she was AKC as long she was healthy and what I was looking for on a pet.
I think if you want to breed instead of just thinking on the registry you should be more concern is if she is healthy(check her dna and ancestor for congenital defects, etc) and the proper example of the standard. Good luck on your decision.

Thanks for the info. I'm still deciding whether to breed her or not. As for selling the puppies I wasn't going to be asking like top dollar for them. Right now I'm thinking in the range of $600, but that's still not for sure. And yes, I'm going to get Kayla checked out with a vet before I even breed her, because I want to make sure she's in perfect health and will be able to care for the puppies and be able to make it through the whole pregnancy without any harm to her or the puppies. I don't want to lose her and I definitely don't want to have puppies that aren't healthy that I'll have to put down, because that would just be too heartbreaking for me. That and I have a lot of questions I want to ask the vet before breeding her, so I know when to bring the puppies in for their shots and what all they will need. So, yeah, I'm not just going to go and breed her and hope for the best. I'm going to do a lot of research before jumping into anything. :)

I think people just trust AKC more. They have stricter standards and more options as far as showing and such. I know you only said "trash dog" in anger and just don't want anyone thinking that is what the pups will be because both parents aren't AKC. If she is healthy and you do decide to breed, there is never a guarantee. You can find so much info online and even on this site of tragic endings and wonderful beginnings. One lady on here just now found out that the pups were reabsorbed by the mother before the delivery date. I have never heard of this before. Breeding is a never ending education. If you do decide to breed and have healthy pups, you should have absolutely no problem selling them for $600. It will cost you quite a bit by the time they are ready to go. If you want to PM me with any questions that you may be hesitant about posting, feel free. I am no expert, but I will help where I can. Always remember, breeding does put your female at risk. You will find as you research whelping that many many things can go wrong and you can lose the litter and the mother. You will need to learn what are warning signs and what to do in many different instances.

You should be able to sell the pups but probably not as much as if they were AKC. People know more about AKC and tust them (somewhat) because of the stricter guidelines. Would love to see pictures of your furbaby!

Can I ask why you're wanting to breed? I'm not sure if you know this, so I'm not trying to offend you. I just wanted to let you know that alot of dogs sold at the petstore tend to be the "pet quality" or in other words don't go towards the standard, that is how they end up there. Just last week I saw one in a pet shop window that had legs so long it reminded me of a black lab. Maybe you could find a mentor so you could find out if she would be good for breeding?
I would just advise you to weigh all of the risks and look up lots of information on breeding. Try to see the whole picture. Breeding is a full time job. A 24 hour job that if done right people rarely make money on. I think they say that a dog has to have 12 puppies in order to just break even. Well, we all know that yorkies have small litters. Just make sure you have the money to put into it like for an emergency c-section, special food, other supplies for welping such as an x-pen, blankets, puppy pads, toys, nutri-cal, shots, vet checks worming, etc. And if you work, be prepared to take a couple days off and lose some sleep. Oh, and look up the puppy lemon laws and such in your state.
I agree that people would not pay as much for a puppy that is not AKC registered. What ever you choose to do, it is your choice. Good luck! *Cher hugs her trashy pug*

Continental Kennel Club is CKC. AKC is more particular about things than CKC and people are more familiar with them. For instance AKC will come to your home to inspect and check records and conditions. I dont' think CKC does anything like that. Were it me I would hold out for an AKC dog. So it's not that you won't necessarily be able to sell the pups, but people who are familiar may hold out for AKC reg. As for breeding....I think you have gotten good advice in the posts so far. I would just make really really sure that it's something you are willing to commit to. For instance if the pups don't sell would you be able to provide a home for them too? Once you have them they are your responsibility forever. My mom bred AKC miniature schnauzers for about 25-30 years. Even with that much experience there are always new things to learn and tons to do. Ane the vet bills are ungodly IF everything goes by the book. She was home all the time and worked every minute of it. It can be really rewarding, but it's also pretty heartbreaking. My sisters and I used to bawl everytime she sold a puppy. If it was one we really liked we would try to get the people to leave before they bought it by being really annoying. ;) And heaven forbid you lose a puppy. Some of them don't make it and that is just dreadful. It's wonderful when that pup you have been bottle feeding every couple of hours makes it....but when they don't...well, you get the drift. Good luck with whatever you decide!
