NAPR to AKC?

[LoveMyBeowulf]

I got papers to Register my dog with NAPR I still haven't done it yet. Would I be able to register Beowulf with AKC if I register him with NAPR? I dont know how this works.

I have never heard of it..I have heard of CKC (continental) which to me is a scam to charge you more for a dog because its "registered"
I think the breeder should have given you papers for AKC in order to register your baby through AKC.

My breeder gave me the papers the same day I got her to register her through AKC and it shows the mom and dads name on it...

So the paper she gave me has mom and dads name on it and it sais they are registered with AKC but the paper I got was for NAPR (North American Purebred Registry) Is that weird? Should I call these places and ask about this breeder?

HMMMMM never heard of NAPR> I know there is CKC and APRI both of which are scams and it sounds like this NAPR may be a scam as well. You have to have the AKC papers to be able to register.

definitely look into it..your baby was pricey and they should have given you AKC papers if that what they promised when you purchased your baby!

Information on NAPR:

If you are new to the registration process, we make it simple. If you have a single dog that you want to register and get papers on, just complete our individual registration application. If you have a litter of puppies, complete our litter registration application.

If your dog is already registered with the AKC, CKC, or another registry service, you can certainly register them with us as well by completing the individual application. This is called dual-registration and they will not lose their existing registration.
We offer an extremely quick, no-hassle, and friendly registration process.

HISTORY

In, 1995 we started a dog registry named the North American Beagle Registry. During this time, very few registration groups were available to pet owners and breeders. Because of the small number of clubs, their service was extremely slow and not focused on their customers. Breeders were not receiving their litter papers back in time to sell the pups, sometimes waiting 4 to 5 months. This slack service caused the breeders customers to be angry and mistrustful, causing these dog owners and breeders to look for another way to accomplish the registration process. So in 1998, we branched out from only Beagles and opened registration to all dogs, forming the North American Purebred Dog Registry (NAPDR).

In 2009, we incorporated and shortened our name to the North American Purebred Registry, Inc.

The NAPR is a registry dedicated to the dog breeder as well as people who have just 1 or 2 pets in their family. We do not cater to puppy mills, or to those that are simply interested in selling animals for quick gain. We do not offer bulk discounts. We do not send out blank pedigrees for people to fill in however they want. We operate in this manner because we do not want to attract the wrong kind of business. We want good, honest breeders, or pet owners that have the same goals; the continuing health and happiness of pets and pet owners.

In 2015, we acquired The Central Animal Registry.

The goals of NAPR are as follows:

-Serve those pet owners and conscientious breeders who truly have the best interest of their animals at heart

-Maintain impeccable records

-24 hour turnaround service after receiving an application from the customers

-Treat clients with the utmost respect and courtesy

-Maintain the most reasonable, competitive fees in the industry

You, our customer, are our most valued and important asset. We continually try to make the registration process as simple and sensible as possible for you, whether you have one or many animals in your family or kennel. Each of you is equally important in our registration family.

So I take it you give your customers NAPR paper registrations too? So.. its not a scam?

I'm pretty sure yorkiemom1 only registers her dogs with AKC. It is the ONLY real and reputable registry out there.

The breeder probably gave you the NAPR papers bc they did not have rights to breed her AKC dogs in the first place. That is a huge red flag. Even if the breeder did in fact have rights to breed her AKC dogs and didn't register the pups (or have the AKC papers for the pups for the buyers to register the pups) shows that she is being cheap and taking shortcuts. So where else did she take shortcuts?

Even if your dog was able to register AKC, there really is no reason unless you plan on showing, or you just want to pay for it just for the record. But any other registry, it is pointless and not worth the paper they are printed on. You can register any dog as any breed, and they don't check the lines. As long as the check clears they will register your dog. Not so with AKC.

No, I still cling to the AKC! I have some of my dogs double registered with AKC as well as CKC (Canadian Kennel Club, NOT the continental kennel club!!) I am old and set in my ways....I will go down with the AKC!!!!

[LoveMyBeowulf]

So I guess I was just so excited about getting my new pup that I didn't listen to what she was saying. I asked my bf about it and he said she did offer the AKC papers but she wanted $4,000 for it because she didn't want us breeding our pup and competing with her. My head was in the clouds when she said this cause that is just rediculously high for papers. Though I did get the cutest pup of the litters she had. She said she paid $5,000 for Beowulf's father hes an Argentine stud and only weighed 2 lbs she had him on site but not his mom he was beautiful pure black and gold I could understand why I guess but IMHO she was a gypsy.

[LoveMyBeowulf]

So would I be able to register him with akc on my own? If so for how much?

So I dont understand why she just does not sell the puppy with a spay neuter contract....when you spay the pup, you send the breeder proof and she sends your AKC papers.....this is what I do....never had any issues or problems from my owners!
.............something doesnt smell right to me.....but hey, I could be wrong!

[capt_noonie]

That's another red flag when they ask for more money for AKC papers. Reputable breeders don't do that, and they would sell their pups on a spay/neuter contract anyway. So she asked $4000 with AKC papers, may I ask how much you ended up paying?

It's also kind of weird that she had the sire on site and not the dam. Usually it is the other way around if they don't have both of them.

Well, count it as a lesson learned and consider trying to educate others from now on. Lots of us, including me, made a mistake when buying our first yorkie.

[LoveMyBeowulf]

She does stud service with her sire she had a female on site but it wasn't his mom she had about 3 different litters same sire different dams. Idk but my bf did not want to neuter him anyway. She was a gypsy I can't deny she ended up not answering our phone calls anymore because we were suppose to take him to her for his last parvo shot free of charge. And our frigerator broke down so we couldn't make it. I called her and told her she said she had already mixed the medication and it was now going to waste because she didn't have another pup born the same day as mine. She said he needed his shot within the next 3 days I tried calling her my bf called her I left her a VM no call back. I paid $1,200 for him. She did give me a one year health guarantee contract, but she was pretty shady for not answering our calls.

[capt_noonie]

Uni is my first yorkie and I got her from a less than trustworthy person also. She told me what shots were given but when I told the vet he said if the shots weren't given by a vet or clinic they were basically worthless. Also that one year guarantee isn't much good if she doesn't return your calls. I would really suggest getting pet insurance now before she is diagnosed with anything, otherwise it would be considered a pre-existing condition.
