SV Registration - Page 1

Hi,

What are the consequences of not having an SV registered working puppy?  My main concern is if I will be able to breed the dog in the future and have the litter registered. 

Thanks,

Was the dog born in Germany? If it was, not having SV registration is a big problem. If the dog was born anywhere else, the only registeration you need is from the kennel club for that country.

Thanks for taking the time to reply!

The dog was born in Germany and will be brought to the US.

A litter CANNOT get papers if you don't get the pink papers and register the dog here.  And the dog must be DNA profiled before a litter can be registered.

Is there a reason you aren['t getting the papers? Do you have breeding restrictions?

Mikee, you state that the GSD puppy was born in Germany. But, was the puppy born to S.V.-registered and breed-surveyed parents and is the puppy from a litter whose breeding was S.V.-approved, or were the parents just registered with the national German Kennel Club (Deutsches Verband für das Hundewesen)? Remember, just because a GSD was born in Germany does not guarantee it is registered with the S.V..

Evenso, if the litter and the puppy are registered with the German Kennel Club, the puppy can be registered with the S.V. once it recieves an "a" stamp on its hips and elbows and it can participate in S.V.-sanctioned events. Upon receipt of the "a" stamps it will enter the breed book. That applies to GSD's born in Germany or elsewhere-as long as they possess a certified pedigree from the F.C.I. or the purebred dog clubs they oversee.

In order to verify whether the litter is registered with the S.V., just talk to the breeder and make him/her prove the existence of the S.V. litter registration. Simple document-but only the registered litter owner has easy access to it. If the parents are only registered with the German Kennel Club (and not with the S.V.) there should still be a valid litter registration from that group.

So, some things need to be clarified here. Mikee, you need to determine, without question, to which organization(s) your puppy is registered BEFORE you spend the money.

All I know at this point is that the Dam is not titled and the Sire is an LGZS. So, from what I know, the litter won't be SV registered because of the Dam.


Will this be the end of the story or there are other things that can be done to have this litter registered?  Also, If I buy a puppy from this litter, will I be able to do sport with it and compete in trails and championships?  And when this puppy is an adult and I breed her, will I be able to have her litters SV registered?

Thanks,

If you are concerned about getting a dog or bitch you can breed, it sounds like you should spare yourself the trouble of the litter you are considering. A breeder should be able to answer your questions about where the litter and parents are registered and should be able to show you the registration. Most will tell you upfront, but sometimes you have to ask specific questions. Besides, you don't know that any puppy you get will be breedworthy. You won't know that until the puppy is at least 2 years old.

Listen to what Bob-O said.
