Breeder's registering puppies

Just wondering about this as it is being discussed in another thread, "why register my dog".

Why don't the American breeders register their puppies just like the Canadian ones do?

One of the obvious reasons is that registering any dog sold as purebred is required by Canadian Federal law. This type of law for domestic canines may be unique to Canada.

Same is required for Finland. Only the breeder can register any dogs to the Kennel Club, and litters must be registered as a whole. I do wish the same were true for every other country (though most European countries are like this).

I'm not sure how Canada does it but I register my litters myself. I have the owners pick out their registered name and pay the registration fee but I do the actual paperwork. This way I can ensure the entire litter is registered.

Mary K,
Here the breeder also pays for the individual registration as well as first registering the litter.
The breeder and owners chose the registered name.

Yes, I do the same so can ensure entire litter registered.

Is this a law of the national government or just a kennel club rule?

Same in Australia..you get your puppy registered in the Breeders name....it is up to you if you if you have the breeders signature on the transfer certificate to get it registered in your name....If the Breeder does not want you to register it , they do not give you the signed form.

Also all ANKC Members can only sell registered puppies, they can get de-registered if they sell un-registered puppies...hence many sell on contract (both names or with desex ruling).

All the unregistered dogs are form back-yard breeders or Puppy Farms, thank doG no known Newfie farm so far, mainly poodle or little white fluffies

I'm not entirely sure. I can swear with a whole hand that it's definitely a kennel club rule, but only with a finger for it to also be a national government law. Though don't take my word for the national law.

In Canada, because of the national government law, a breeder cannot withhold the registration when selling a purebred dog. The dog must be registered in the new owner's name within six months and at no extra cost to the buyer. Any subsequent transfer of ownership require the same. The Canadian Kennel Club acts as an agent of the federal Department of Agriculture in such matters.

I register the litter first, then when the puppies are ready to go to their new homes, I complete their individual registration paperwork, have the new owners sign it and return to me, then I sign, send it to AKC, and I pay the registration fees. This assures all puppies are registered.
