registration questions

What are some reasons a dog breeder wouldn't give you the registration? Also, I called the club they register their dogs to and the registration costs less than the breeder said, Why?

The breeder registers the litter , then gives you the paper to register the pup in your name. This is for AKC. What club are you talking about ??

The NSDR.

I don't know what NSDR is for but you should have gotten the papers to register your pup from the breeder. You fill in your info and the pups name and some other info, send it in with money and get the papers in a couple weeks. Did you ask the breeder about it?

I'm not familiar with it either .... BTW .... it's IU#1 .... Pee-U #2 !!! LOL!!

the NSDR is the NATIONAL Stock Dog Registry in Butler, Indiana.

BTW. My brother is going to IU, and He likes UK. I want to go to Purdue.

Do you need those papers for anything anyway?

Some breeders will only give limited registration for pet quality dogs. That means that any puppies born to the dog would not be eligible for registration. By doing so, it keeps unscrupulous people from trying to produce puppies for money (non-registered dogs sell for much less than registered pups).

Other times, breeders will not provide registeration papers for pet quality dogs until the pup has been spayed or neutered.

But if your breeder is withholding registration for no particular reason, I would certainly be suspicious.

I was thinking about training him to work stock, and maybe show in 4H competitions when he gets older.

My uncle wants me to get the registration. he has a farm so i could train my dog there.
He said that if i worked with my dog it would be able to do everything except talk.

Why would they hold the registration for no reason?
