I am looking for a new reg myself. I have a litter of 8 pups, and since the sire was over 11 years of age, the adba wants all the pups DNA profiled. All comes out to close to $500 to reg a litter. That is insane. Thinking of going aadr.
I use the ADBA too, mostly because they do a lot of work regarding keeping everybody informed on the dog laws.
I have to this date never owned a piece of paper. Never registered one single pup when it comes to apbts. I understand why some might find it important, but to me all this piece of paper means is possible problems with authority. All dogs I have are mixed bred mutts. Who can ban dogs like that?
Skipper, what we had here is that pitbull kinds, crossed or whatever were all subject to bsl. Unless you could prove different with paperwork, your dog was apbt to them. Besides the apbt they confiscated, they took stafffords/american staffords etc from people who couldn't proof with paperwork the dog was registered as other than apbt.
Yeah, i understand. With true ban from their point of few i would contact the registries first. Pretty sure adba would torch the server and files ?
Oh ok. We have no breed bans so far where I live. To be honest I just don't care for papers. I can register all dogs if I wanted to. To this date I haven't had the need for it.
The ban is gone here since 4 years also, they finally saw their idiocracy.
Ideally, I agree with you, and if I wasn't a dog breeder (where everyone wants "their papers") I would not bother registering my dogs either.
I have been an "ADBA-Registered Kennel" since 1990, but honestly, I personally haven't registered any of my dogs since 2006 ... but I do fill out "single registration forms" for my customers who want them. But if I were just an active competitor, and wasn't selling dogs, then I wouldn't bother to do any of this.
This is also another reason why I feel a full database like this is valuable (not just for dog peds, but also additional photos/history tabs, which we are working on still), is how the records of these dogs can be organized and followed paperlessly.
Rather than have papers in a file, or a computer program on your hard drive (that can't store photos or do half the stuff this database can do), there will be one centralized record-keeping resource for all.

Yeah I understand that you as a breeder uses some kind of register. But my point is that even you could if you wanted to put any dogs you have as parents and register the litter without any fuzz about it. Honesty is the key, papers or not.
Absolutely. The paper is only as good as the word of the breeder.Originally Posted by skipper
If the breeder's word is no good, the papers are no good. If the breeder's word is good, the papers are good.
Thus the most important element is the word of the breeder, not the paperwork.
It's like the word of a woman versus a "marriage certificate." If a woman is a dirty hoe inside her heart, then "getting married" isn't going to prevent her from cheating on you; the marriage certificate is only as good as the honesty and commitment in the woman's heart. If she really does love you, and if she really is committed to you, then "a piece of paper" isn't really necessary ... and if she really doesn't love you, and is not committed in her heart, then that "piece of paper" isn't worth a penny ... and will not stop the inevitable from happening.
