DL registered?

[shiftylou]

What does Dog lovers registered mean? Is this just another way of KC registering pups? or a con?

[quilson_mc_spike]

tbh its just another way of registering them and it means that none pedigree dogs can be registered for owners to keep rememberance's from i *think* x

its where you buy a pup with endorsments where you cant breed from the pup from a kc reg breeder and breed from it against the breeders wishes and `register` the pups with dl to make out they have papers when they dont

Means about the same thing as saying a dog is "Ssthisto Registered".

No official status.

So they register it with DL so that they arent used for breeding? I was looking at chihuahua puppies and there isnt many that are KC registered but full pedigree I havent yet seen any KC registered??

No, what they're saying is:

KC Breeder has a litter of puppies. Those puppies which are considered pet quality are "endorsed" - made so that any pups born FROM those pups cannot be KC registered - so that the KC Breeder can ensure that only good show quality pups are bred from.

Unscrupulous dog owner buys one of those endorsed pet quality pups and decides they want to have a litter.

They can't register the pet quality dog's pups with the Kennel Club (because of the endorsement) and so they decide to register their pet quality dog's pups with "some registry that doesn't HAVE endorsements or breed standards" and can then say "yeah, these pups are pedigreed and registered."

It's a way to trick unsuspecting buyers into thinking they're getting something more than they really are.

Dog Lovers Reg was in fact set up by Mayfield kennels, Dogsrus Now Dogs4us.

It was set up so that they could provide 'Papers' for puppies from Puppy Farms.
They then extended this to the public so that Backyard Breeders of non Health Tested, Non Standard, Poor Quailty pet pups could also be registered or your adult dog who you haven't got a clue whos parents are or even if they were pure, could also be registered.

Yes, or the same as saying 'not registered at all'...

DL was apparently started by a puppy farmer so pups coul dbe registered. Whatever they may say on their site, they do no checks and do not regulate anything. A lot of the dogs registered with them have made up pedigrees, or as has been said, the parents were KC registered but never meant to be bred from.

DL registration is basically worthless.

Hold out for a KC registered puppy. If you phone the breed club, they will know which reputable breeders are planning litters and you will be able to go on a waiting list, meet the parents/Mum before the pups are even born and then visit the pups regularly (ish, it depends on breeders) from a very young age so it will know you when it comes home. All means you'll have to wait a bit longer, but chi's are a very exploited breed and there are a lot of badly bred ones out there. It will also mean you have a good breeder to contact should you come across any problems, and who will take your puppy back in the future if for any reason you can't keep it.

i`ve been after a chihuahua pup for 2 years now and i know what your saying.
from what i`ve seen for sale i`ve come to the conclusion that,

the nice looking pups are dl registered
the kc registered ones look like crosses with a jrt

( i`m so going to get flamed for that! )




you need to find a decent breeder and stalk them ( nicely of course ) try ones further away, then you wont be any competition to them if you do breed. it can make the difference between you being offered a puppy or not


a lot of cat breeders are having their pet quality kittens neutered at 12 weeks because of all the back yard breeders out there
