Do You Know How To Register Your Dog
Registering a dog is not obligatory as dog owners have the option to register or not to register the pet. Being registered or not will not really make a difference to the quality of life a dog will have as the animal will remain as man’s most loyal friend.
A kennel club registration certificate will not be important for a dog as this pet will remain affectionate and loyal to the family even if it is not registered. On the other hand, the thought of holding adorable and cuddly puppies may make you decide to breed the pet and this decision would only be possible if the dog is registered. Registering the dog to a kennel club would qualify the pet to be mated with another purebred. When a puppy is purchased the breeder should provide the new dog owner with a Dog Application Registration form as this will be needed in case the owner decides to register the dog.
Breeders of purebred dogs are required to register their dogs. People that keep dogs specifically as home companions seldom take the trouble of registering the pet. However, an owner that registers the dog would be in for a lot of perks. A dog owner is not unlike a proud parent that would be more than pleased at the success of the pet. An owner will be very proud to show off the blue ribbons collected by the pet and needless to say joining kennel club competitions will only be possible if the dog is a registration number holder.
The dog can be registered in two of the major kennel clubs – the United Kennel Club and the American Kennel Club. Although filling up the registration form and paying the registration fee can be accomplished easily, a dog has to meet some requirements before it can be accepted by the kennel clubs. The American Kennel Club for instance requires three generations of verified parentage. Aside from having a registered sire and dam, the litter must be registered by the breeder as well.
Puppy buyers must be provided with Dog Registration Application form by the dealer. An owner can choose to register online or to complete a paper copy of the application form. An owner registering a dog has to supply information about the pet, data about the owner and the owners of the litter. Submit the filled up registration form, pay the registration fees and wait a few months for the registration certificate that will be mailed by the kennel club.
