We've decided not to send Sheba's papers into the AKC to have her registered...A s far as I can see if you don't breed or show you are pretty much just handing your money to the AKC with no benefits...Is there anything I am missing?
-
Just their tacky magazine and an ugly tag...
-
That's very interesting. I am in the process of getting ready to register both Dolly and Zoey through the Indefinite Listing Privilege or whatever that the AKC offers because neither of them have papers proving they are purebred even though they are. You think this is just a waste of my money?
-
Yes. Unless you plan on getting into carting or obedience competitions or something, I just don't see the point of paying AKC breed registry fees for dogs that are never going to be bred.
-
Well, I wouldn't mind getting them into carting or tracking events. And I don't know, perhaps it means more to me for no reason at all to have them registered. Am I being silly? My first dog was a mix and I obviously couldn't register him, so maybe I'm just going nuts because now I have "pure-breds" and want to register them. Again, am I being silly? :-\
-
No, you're not being silly. If you want to register your dog, you totally should--it's not like they want $1000! It's what, $65 a year? That's like, a week's worth of stuffies.
Don't let my AKC-registered-puppies-in-the-pet-store-prison-cages chronic aggravation infect you. If iit will make you smile to say your dog is AKC registered, do it.
Just know that we have more info (and more ACCURATE)info on all things doggy here on BPO--and the collar tags really are not remotely cute. ;)
-
Do you have to renew their registration each year? It's $35 for each dog. If so, what does it cost?
-
Chelle, the AKC is a waste of your money unless you want to enter AKC, sanctioned events as already has been said but there is one more reason. You may want to know her pedigree. Cost to register just a single dog is still at $15 unless you want a certified copy of her pedigree then it is an extra $17 for the pedigree. But there is nothing wrong with paying for bragging rites... Jackie

AKC registration is a one time fee. There are no renewal fees. I have papers all of my dogs, past and present except Raven who was a purebred rescue, and Strider who is a mix. I keep them just the way I keep the tags of my past babies. For a rememberance. I have never showed, and have no intention of breeding. I am not a fan of the AKC, nor am I a purebred snob.I am simply an anal retentive paper filer. :P

Then I think I may go through with it after all. I like picking out long names too! Mine aren't anything fancy though. Not like Penny Lane's pretty name! Isn't it Aneto's Almost Famous Whiterose? Mine are simple. Dolly is "Dolly's I'm the cute one" and Zoey is "My Zoey girl's a star". Would anyone else care to share what their dog's registered name is?

Thanks Jackie & both you & Holly brought up a very good reason to register her...I would LOVE to know more about where she came from. (now that you have me hooked on pedigrees & lines, Ms. Tanimara...lol!) So, for that specifically I think I will register her...Thinking of the fancy shmancy AKC name is just a plus then....lol!
Marissa, you are not at all silly to register your dogs if that is what you want to do...I was proud as a peacock when I registered Pippin! ;D ...He was my 1st dog that could be registered & I was pleased to include him in the AKC ranks!...Also, he carries the Tanimara name & is his great grandpa's namesake (have you ever read the story of "Wolf"?) & that meant alot to me....Register away & have fun with it...I did! :-* ;D

Thanks! I'm getting my pics developed to send in with the forms and money this week. What will Sheba's name be, do you know?
-

i'm not sure yet...April came up with "Sheba's Spoiled Christmas Eve (her dam's name is Eve"...& I really like that but I am not 100% sure yet. :-\
-
That's pretty...and very fitting! :D

Or on that note her sire's name is Adam...I know how origional...lo l!...How about something Biblical like Sheba's In The Beginning...or Sheba's Forbidden Fruit or Sheba's Tempt The Serpent?...or Sheba's All is Forgiven?...C'mon people...I am on a train of thought I like but not quite getting it! :-\ :)
-
I thought about registering Barney but I won't be competing and I'd rather not give them my money. But if I had registered him I would use "My Name's Not Beethoven".

Why not just use "Queen of Sheba" or some variation on that?
Just wondering,

He was a lion at heart. I miss him that's for sure.... Jackie

As far as names go, lots of breeders have it in their contracts that if the dog is ever to be registered, their name must contain the kennel name. Most of the time it is at the biginning, w/ your kennel name at the end. my future pup is to be named either Legends Star'n All Riled Up or La Plata's All Riled Up. i haven't decided on the breeder yet. Riley for short.
-
Do you think it's necessary to always include the breeder's kennel name, even if they never said they cared if you did or didn't?
-
Allie's Registered name is " ( my last name )'s Livin' on a prayer" , named after a favorite song of my husband and mine . :)

When we adopted Sheba we knew she wouldn't replace Rosie but we hoped to get some of that "girliness" back into our home to soothe our hearts...WEEEL LLLLLLLLLL...l ol!...Sheba is not your typical Pyr...She is fiesty, silly & energetic...Li ttle Miss Full of Pi** & Vinegar! (I didn't think the akc would let me use that name...lol!)...She did not just soothe our hearts...she kickstarted them...lol!
PRESENTING: (DRUMROLL PLEASE :D)
SPITFIRE SHEBA KICKSTART MY HEART!!! ;D

Oh, I do think it's perfect! What a name for such a girl!!!
She does look like she's out to tease someone, anyone!!
-
Great choice, Chelle. Although I still like Little Miss Pi$$ and Vinegar, LOL
Stella

Chelle, that is such a great name for a great little girl. I love the name game, thanks to you guys I think I have name for at least 10 litters.
Our new little girl is "Aneto's Almost Famous Whiterose" the kennel names are Anteto & Whiterose. Her call name is "Penny Lane".

I knew you would Stella! :D We'll just call her that at home..lol!..Currently Little Miss Pi** & Vinegar is out in the yard absolutly harrassing Pippin...I am still waiting for him to snap...It is amazing how much one dog can take...Poor Pippin! :-\ :D
-
That's great for Sheba! I love it! I sent in the registration forms for my girls today. I picked out "My Zoeygirl's a star" for Miss Zoey. And Dolly's kennel was Rolling Thunder Saints, so she's "Rolling Thunder baby doll." You guys pick out the best names! Mine are rather boring.

I was wonder if I could register my Beagle *Milo* he is UKC but want to register him AKC with the new DNA to see what his pedigree is because so many people have stop registering with the AKC so is this possable?
-
I think you can. For sure with the Indefinite Listing Privilege. You don't even have to have any proof of pedigree or DNA for that. Just pictures and state a reason why you think the dog is purebred. But I'm sure you can, I just don't know how with DNA or anything.
