Getting a puppy AKC registered?

[arabianequine]

Wow you guys been busy with out me today.....k well the deal is the dam is ckc which ckc I don't know. I never got a call back today. The dad is registrable but they don't want to do that and if they did the pups would be 2 times as much. The owner of the puppies says it is not worth it to them for me wanting one puppy. The puppies owner kept saying last night when I last talked to her that I could get a blood test or something?

I don't get rich but saying I don't make money would be a lie.

Your right on 100%. And I'm telling most of these show breeders don't report the money they get from pups to the IRS. They think since they spent a bunch traveling and "aren't" in it for the money they should not have to report it.

Oh but don't get me wrong the will report it as a business for a few years so they can take a loss and get money back.

If you need an AKC dog for what ever reason then look elsewhere but if you just want a good pet then I would forget the registry an just try to get as much info on both the mom an dads lines.

I do want the puppy I get to be akc I would like to show and maybe breed some day once......I doubt I will get any of these puppies. I will not get another puppy without its parents hips being checked also and I need to ask that too still so highly unlikely.

My last puppy was having hip problems while growing. She is a year now and will be hip checked soon.

@ redhen I am looking at a male saint bernard.

I don't know what my friend does about her taxes, isn't any of my business but she gets checks that must be deposited into her bank account. I stand by my claim, she rarely breaks even on her pups. She breeds one, maybe two litters a year. The last litter she had 8 pups, she will keep 2 or 3 to grow up and show. 5 were sold on limited registration as pet quality. She feeds Orijen puppy food which is very pricey, ear crops cost $500 + per pup - she uses the best vet on the East Coast. Please don't start a rant about ear crops. She gets mouth xrays of her show pups to check for missing adult teeth. We just got back from cropping - I help with the pups, they are kept meticulously clean. She enters and travels to dog shows at least once a month. She keeps her finished b***h champions until they die, one is 12 1/2 yrs. Breeding age is at least 2 yrs. No breeding less than 1 yr apart and she rarely breeds the same girl more than twice.There are 10 Dobes in her house of varying ages, they all get extra premium food, vet care and the run of her house. Her previous litter the b***h had an injury, she was taken to a university vet hospital and stayed for 10 days. Her bill was $4000+. She delivered 3 pups when 2 of the 3 were sold as pets my friend had twice as much invested as she got back on the sale. For those of you that say you know people who make lots of money selling pups, how does my friends care of her dogs compare to those people?

Well..taking your dog to the vets and keeping them for life and feeding them.

... is normal dog care.... that doesnt count.
So.. $500 for ear cropping... and a few bucks for vaccines, per pup...
If she sells her pups for $1,500 Or MORE each... (which i'm sure she does)
I'd say shes still making a profit... but shes then using THAT profit to maintain her other dogs.... and calling it breeding costs...
Just my opinion...

Wow that's cosmetic and selfish and has no health benefits... just causes the puppy pain for looks. Wire has lots of health benefits...it keeps dogs from eating poop, keeps urine off coats and the wire can be cleaned of any disease unlike your friends carpet.​

My female had to fly here from Indiana. I just seen some saints in our local paper in our closest town so I though I would check it out. Since the owner never called back today I am guessing the dam is ckc continental. I thought that is what the owner said last night when I first called but rude not to let me know today. I will check into it more on Monday with akc.

Just trying looking really right now but they were close to where we live so thought I would check.


Does my female look like a pure saint?
