Good intentions are as abundant as politicians, can you walk the talk? Joe, You are completely right about investgating before you bring a new puppy home…. I did not. I made some assumptions that were incorrect. Shame on me. I do not plan to breed or show my puppy so luckily the point is moot.
But for others out there….. I am finding that difficult to digest as this puppy already weighs more than my full grown AKC dog did as an adult. The puppy is 15 weeks. Buyer Beware and Be Informed! Joe: Thanks for the education that you provided. My family just lost our two adorable, lovable and fun loving Akitas and we are devasted. I know that they were not going to live forever but I never envisioned parting with them.
They were our first pets and we were inseparable. We really had to educate ourseleves before the purchase but we were not as knowlegable about what to look for or the appropriate questions to ask the breeders. We are in the process of puppy shopping for rplacement Akitas because we love the breed so much.
Thus far, we ahve avoided what appeared to be puppy mills when breeders were willing to part with the pumps prior to eight weeks or were selling them cheaply or they did not care what homes their pups were going to raised in. Please provide some much mneeded guidance. I wish I knew someone who could call and ask the appropriate questions on her behalf. He was our first dog, a lot of work, but he ended up being an amazing dog.
Excelled in obedience by age 6 months, and was slated to go into service. He was so wonderful with everyone and passed a temperament test with such flying colors that he got a scholarship to go and be a therapy dog for autistic children. That was the type of animal we had. But by age 1 he was 93 pounds with 3 miles of running everyday.
Then he started to go lame and an x-ray revealed severely arthritic hip dysplasia with laxity. THen he started crying so we gave him tramadol, rimadyl and aspirin.
Pretty soon he was either too stoned to move, or in too much pain to move. Pit bulls dont show pain but our dog was crying. We put him down 2 months ago. Point is, a 93 pound dog is not an APBT. NOt that we cared, we loved him anyway and had no intention of breeding. And no recourse. Any responsible breeder must give you one. I recently purchased a applehead Chihuahua. AKC is a closed registry. This can cause genetic problems in dogs. AKC is also very limiting because it only recognizes breeds.
CKC on the other hand is an open registry. CKC does dual registration which means if you are already registered with an approved club such as AKC you can transfer the registration to CKC with no problem. They also have the picture and witness program.
You take 5 very specific photos of the dog and send it in to CKC. There is a very strict evaluation process to determine from the photos if the dog is purebred. Do you know what views are requested from CKC? I just registered my doberman and am regretting not upgrading the package of p r protection so to speak.
I have a ckc continental kennel club Blenheim Cavalier King Charles female. I thought I would breed her just once and so did not get her fixed. Well—never thought it would be so hard to find a stud! We did manage to find one young inexperienced stud last season but he was unable to tie.
Both were very willing an able but——season ended with her very disappointed and him very happy. So——how do I find a stud?
I live in the Dallas, TX area and I can not believe it is this difficult. I just got a chihuahua 8weeks both of her parents are CKC registered and the puppies where too! I was really thinking about not sending her papers in because of all the bad things i read on the internet about CKC. So I decided that i am going to seen her paper in. And feel good about it!!!! Sorry hate this auto correct I just got a chihuahua 8weeks both of her parents are CKC registered and the puppies where too!
Go ahead and register your little darling. To me it shows that you the owner cared enough to complete things, put on the finishing touches. CKC is very real. For a long time I had my doubts.
I would only breed AKC registered dogs. I have totally turned around. My preference is now CKC. Howbeit, not the other way around. The more puppies that do get registered with their CKC litter- puppy papers, the generations grow and the pedigree will show it. Especially if you obtained your precious from a reputable breeder…..
Just some 3am thoughts…. Re-read your post. Thank you for your decision. Deffinately feel good about it. You should feel good. You have a little furluv that has good breeding behind it.
Get its pedigree also with your pups picture…. Closed bloodlines such as AKC registered dogs….. Or used to. Share on twitter Twitter.

Creating a website for your puppies, advertising your puppies online , or in a newspaper will put you in touch with more prospective puppy owners, but they should all be carefully screened to ensure that it is a suitable match. Question : What type of contract should I provide to new owners? All of this should be specified, in writing, and signed and dated by both parties.
Question : What can I provide to puppy buyers to better prepare for ownership? Answer : The best thing that you can provide to your new puppy owners is a properly socialized, well-trained puppy and a CKC registration application. CKC has many resources available for breeders and puppy owners to help them prepare for a lifelong relationship in a forever home. Visit the CKC blog to provide your puppy owners with information and ideas for preparing for their new arrival, as well as dealing with the issues that arise with raising a puppy and adolescent dog.
When your puppy owners register their puppy into their own name, they will automatically gain access to a wealth of information and resources, so be sure to encourage your puppy owners to register their puppies! Question : Does CKC offer special rates for breeders? Please feel free to call our office or email us for further information.
Question : How do I get papers for my litter of puppies? It will take only a few moments, and the papers will be on their way within 2 — 3 business days. Print and complete a Litter Application and mail it into our office.
The Litter Application is mandatory if the sire is registered with another CKC-recognized organization and owned by someone other than the breeder.
Question : How much does it cost to register a litter with Continental Kennel Club? Answer : Continental Kennel Club CKC is the only kennel club that offers free preprinted puppy papers to its club members. When you take into account the high cost of litter registration fees with other clubs, no other kennel club can claim lower overall registration fees for the dog owner than Continental Kennel Club.
CKC breeders need only register their breeding stock, and puppy papers are distributed to them for each litter free of charge. Question : Does CKC offer the option of limited registration to breeders? Continental Kennel Club strongly advises that all breeders or individuals selling or placing dogs do so with a written contract detailing the terms and conditions of the sale.
Contracts are made and enforced according to state laws, not registration organizations. Or, better yet have the dog spayed or neutered before selling it. Answer : Every CKC breeder has a return rate. It reflects how many puppy papers you give your customers compared to how many are returned for registration to CKC. Many breeders are surprised to find that, although their customers insist upon buying a registered puppy, the customers never return the paperwork to follow through with the registration.
Why is this important? CKC offers several free and discounted services to our breeders, including free litter registration. In return, we rely on our breeders to be advocates of CKC and help ensure that the new puppy owners submit the puppy application for registration. CKC also offers the Breeder Rewards Program, which allows you to earn points by registering litters within 10 days of the DOB, having the new owners registering their pups in a timely fashion, breeding stock registration, and more.
These points may be redeemed on many CKC services. Want to know what your return rate is? Call us at 1 or email us today at ckc ckcusa.
Answer : Yes. Most purebred dogs recognized today are less than years old and the result of crossing the existing breeds of the time. Today, it is one of the most easily recognizable dog breeds. Question : What are Continental Kennel Club's breed standards for purebred dogs? Answer : Yes, when questions arise about the parentage of a dog. Answer : No. CKC does not host shows and events.
Affiliate clubs host events and shows, and CKC sanctions them by recording and awarding points toward championships for CKC-registered dogs that competed in the events. The clubs consist of a club president, a club secretary, and general members.
Question : What types of CKC events can my dog participate in? This includes: conformation shows, retriever and field trials, weight pulling, obedience, agility, and precision agility, just to name a few!
A complete list of event types and rules can be found here. Through the club you can select your club members and event staff, in addition to training and preparing participants and contestants.
They have strict registration policies, one of the reasons why they have only recognized breeds. They only propagate pure breeds and ensure this is done properly by having constant DNA check-ups.
This is one of the strict criteria followed by them for recognizing the new dog. They also keep a check on the cleanliness of the kennel and the DNA. If they fall out of the required standards or do not reach up to it after registration, they can suspend the registration. The pricing plans are therefore different from that of CKC.
Only the mother has to be a registered member of CKC whereas the father can have a certificate from any other CKC-recognized organizations.
