papers

LisaJ: How can i get AKC papers for my full-bred pup? We purchased a full-bred boxer pup without papers from a backyard breeder. The mother & father were on site and the mother had her papers, but the father did not. The breeder informed us that we could take our pup to a vet and have a breed test/exam done which runs about $ 100 and they will mail us papers. I've never heard of such a thing and was wondering if that is true. Answers and Views: Answer by miaugh No. Unless both parents have KC papers, you cannot get papers for the puppies.

In order to determine AKC registration eligibility, you will need to send AKC a copy of your dog’s pedigree, registration application and/or registration certificate from another registry. You can also submit documentation provided by the breeder such as a contract or bill of sale. The dog may qualify for registration if the pedigree shows no break in AKC lineage and the dogs in the pedigree originate from AKC registrable stock. Should the dog be deemed registrable, AKC staff will register the dog in question for $ 30. All late fees will be waived. When you submit your paperwork, please include your name and phone number. You can submit the paperwork in one of three ways: Fax the information to 919-816-3770. Mark it attn: Registry Research. Email images to altreg@akc.org.

AKC has a program called alternative registration and is not to be confused with Purebred Alternative Listing. I know this program works because I used it for my Great Pyrenees. I called AKC and they walked me through the steps. My Pyr is a very healthy, intelligent, and beautiful dog. The reason his sire and Dam were not registered was that the breeder wanted a quick buck. I acquired him from a Pet Store of which I won’t name the Company “hint hint”. Anyways after AKC did the research they found he had a titled lineage. I know that I will catch some slack for going through a pet store but I have my reasons for doing so. I feel that getting a pet from a store is much like getting a pet from a shelter because what happens to the PUP if no one buys it. Either way, I went off subject. AKC will register your dog if it has a valid lineage. Oh and AKC has a Pedigree look-up so you can do the research yourself before you call them. Answer by jess It is not true. The only way to get papers is if both parents of the pup are registered and the breeder registered the litter the puppy is in. Know better? Give your own answer to this question!
