The really sad thing is that owners don't realise, and breeders say it doesn't matter they're only pets, but very often a new owner can become so enthralled with their new pet, that they decide they want to start showing or competing and then find their registration is n't worth the paper it's written on most of the time, this has not been pointed out to them by the breeder.
I had a call from someone only last week wanting information on training for gundog work, joining clubs and eventually competing. When is was revealed that the puppy was DLRC registered I had to explain that they wouldn't be able to - they need a kc registered dog to do it.  None of this had been explained by the breeder.
Absolutely agree - actually, I could write a pedigree now.... let's see.... what about Sire: Scooby Doo Dam: Lassie
That'll do.... now I just need to pay DLRC my money.... and make them a nice profit... paper's not that expensive. |
I bet they would send you a nice flashy ped and registration too
Complete with dogs history they claim to hold in a database
It is infact very easy to do,fill in the forms and away you go,they even ask you for ped info,the KC don't do this on reg forms,they ask if you would like a KC pedigree,but then of course they do hold a reliable database of all dogs registered with them.
I just filled it in,I made up all sorts,no proof of anything required talk about no frills!
It is sad that people are taken in by them especially if they then want to show or compete in other actitivties.
