Is AKC the only recongized kennel club these days?

brvid@purebredpups.org (brvid) — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 19:41:22 GMT

I've thinking of buying a teacup yorkie. I've just found out that she is not AKC registered. I believe she may be "American Dog Club" registered. I am not absolutely certain, but I remember there were approximately six registration categories at this kennel and mine started with an "A", but it was not AKC, so I'm assuming it was ADC.

Is this acceptable given the $2,000 they are charging for the dog?

Years ago, my mother bred collies and my mother told me they had to be AKC in order for them to have significant dollar value and be considered a pure breed. The kennel I am purchasing the teacup yorkie from says that AKC only registration status is a thing of the past and there are now several kennel registries that signify a purebreed dog.

I'd like to know I'm not spending an excessive amount of money on an animal that is not considered purebred.

Any information or feedback posters can provide would be appreciated.

A second question....what does it mean when they sell you the dog and they tell you they will not give you the registration papers until the dog has been spayed? Is this something I should be concerned about? I wasn't thinking of purchasing her for breeding purposes, but it would be nice to know I could if I wanted to considering the money I'm spending. Any insight on this issue would also be appreciated.

Thank you in advance for and information you can supply.

Reply: I appreciate the info. I'm still trying to figure out if AKC holds
the special meaning it used to.

Any additional information from anyone would be appreciated as well.

Thanks.

Oldest Living Rottweiler

wandarenee@purebredpups.org (wandarenee) — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 19:55:05 GMT

Does anyone know how old the oldest living Rottweiler is?
My AKC Rott is 16 and will be 17 on Halloween night! She is amazing and is doing VERY well for her age. My Dad got her for me when I was 12 years old and I am now 28. If anyone knows the age of the oldest Rott that would be a neat thing to know. I have tried to research it but I havent had any luck!
Thanks for your time!

Nail trimming

sycadoog@purebredpups.org (sycadoog) — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 09:00:24 GMT

I have a mini pinscher and his nails are black. What's the safest way to trim them without hurting him? I've asked the vet to do it and she just took the tip off and they were still sharp she also looked scared to cut them. Does a dog groomer cut nails?

Reply: dog groomers will clip your dogs nais for a small cost and you can always ask them to show you how far back to go. However with any dark nail it is always a guessing game and if you walk daily on cement or pavement the nails will get filed down nicely on their own.

Reply: Hello Wandarenee,

It is common for young pups to have accidents even after showing signs of being potty-trained. They will be doing well for a few days and then have a day or two where it seems like they lost it all. Just keep with it and be consistent. Remember some puppies do not have full control over their bladders until they are up to 6 months of age. Don't get discouraged and do not punish her after the fact this will only make her afraid to go in your presence. Check out our Potty Training Article it may help!

Best of luck to you Both!

My Chihuahua's

sycadoog@purebredpups.org (sycadoog) — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 17:10:23 GMT

My chihuahuas are sisters that turned one in December. They are both very small compared to the ones I have been seeing lately. they are about 4&6 lbs. One is Black and tan and one is fawn with black. They are very sweet and love to snuggle when they are done getting into things

Reply: meat flavored gelatine is also a good suppliment for him to encourage good coat growth and to make sure he has enough in his tummy without overfeeding. Yoy can make it by simply boiling in water any meat bones. Boil them for atleast 1 hour and then drain the fluid into a bowl and refrigerate overnight. skim off all the hardened fat and give him a spoonfull of the gelatin with his food or as a snack.

Breeding

sycadoog@purebredpups.org (sycadoog) — Fri, 15 May 2009 20:17:46 GMT

I am thinking of breeding my two girls in the next year as my dad is getting a male chihuahua. I have got potential homes for all the pups that are not even here yet. I want to know if anyone has any tips or advice for me. I do only plan on letting each girl have only one litter as all the dogs will get fixed after. I will only breed them if the male is of good health and a small size to.

Reply: Thanks for the advice. We live less than a mile from the vet so it is a short trip if needed. We are not going to breed the smaller one due to her small size. Her sister is just big enough. She will not be bred until spring though when she is about 2 1/2 years old.

New [grown] dog

sycadoog@purebredpups.org (sycadoog) — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 10:06:43 GMT

I just inherited a 6 year old chihuahua from my husband's parents, and she acts like she's never been housebroken! I'm sure she was, and I think this may be her way of trying to adjust, but it's been a month or two and she's not making progress! Any way to train an old dog?

There are 1 replies, with the last one on 4/23/2009 at 10:06 AM by sycadoog

Reply: She may never have been taught to potty outsied. I havetow Chi's and they are both paper trained. They will go on their paper but will not ask to go out ever. They have no problem going outside if I take the but otherwise on the go on their puppy pads. You can train her though to go the same way you would for a puppy by keeping her on a regular schedule of feeding and going out. Keep her in your sight and try to catch mistakes before they happen. It will atke time but it will happen.

I have been grooming my Mini Schnauzer Sammy for several years. He is getting a little older now, going on 8 this year. He has started to develop a fear of the clippers this spring. He was fine until I started to get near his head. I thought maybe he might be loosing his hearing. Any Comments

pure breed???

sands904@purebredpups.org (sands904) — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 07:00:04 GMT

is there any way to determine for sure that a dog has not been purposely cross bred?? we bought our ckcs with kc reg papers as full bred but he is not growing much and does quite resemble chihauhaus in some ways.....the breeder also breeds these....is there any way to find out??

There are 1 replies, with the last one on 4/14/2009 at 7:00 AM by sands904

Reply: Hello Lynn, I don't believe there is anyway to find out if they purposely bred crosses and mislead you but I know there are DNA tests out there that can identify what breeds are present in a dog. They are not 100% accurate but it may give you a starting point. Hope this helps&Good Luck!

Litter Box Training

sands904@purebredpups.org (sands904) — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 16:13:07 GMT

I breed Shih Tzu and I have been crate training my litters. This is my first post so excuse me if I'm not doing this correctly. I am a medium sized hobby breeder.

I start training my dogs at 3 weeks. I use a crate tray that is the same height as the whelping box, with the whelping crate inside a pen.It has 2 doors, 1 for the litter pan and one for mama to come and go. At 3 weeks the puppies has no where to go but their box or the litter box, the waddle right into the litter box, do their business and go back into a nice clean whelping crate. I clean the box with a scoop several times a day. I use fireplace pellets for litter. Very inexpensive and safe as I have seen several breeders use them for years. Prior to that I was using a product called "Good Mews" for cats that looks just like Fireplace pellets. In about 10 days, I move the box away from the door and into an area where the puppies will have to leave the whelping crate and navigate to the litter box. YES, they find it and they use it. By 8 weeks they are little pros. It works like a charm. No messy, poop to clean up, no yellow stains on light colored pups. I use the pellets for about 5 days scooping it several times a day, then empty it, steralize the pan and add new litter. It has saved me so much time and I'm sure it is more healthy than puppies lying in their own poop and pee. My customers love it.

Reply: Welcome Lindee!

That sounds like a brilliant idea you have. Keeping the puppies clean while also training them. I love it! I do not breed dogs but I have two small dogs that we have indoor trained as well. They don't use litter but a product called the WizDog which is a plastic tray that you put a puppy pad or newspaper on and then a plastic grate covers that. They are about 2.5yrs old and have been using it for over 2 years and it works great.

Well, welcome and good luck with your pups
