I am registering my dog with NKC. I am not going to breed, and I realize NKC is not really a legit registry, only reason I am wanting to register him through it is so I can start in weight pulling. I need help filling out the form though.It asks for the sire and dam and then goes on for a 3 generation ped. anyways. I am wanting to know if I need their reg names and number, or if just their call names would work. The sire is reg. so I can fill out all of his side, but I do not know their numbers and reg names, I would have to find all of that out. Thanks for any help.
O also would it be worth it to do the DNA to prove he is purebred or not? How much does that cost.Thanks.

DNA is a waste. When you got to puppy the breeder should have provided you with all this information, you do need the mom and dads colors and registered name. Usually you have to register them who the parents are registered with, they will also ask for markings on the dog. Your best bet would be contact the breeder they can help you with every thing. Good luck hope this helps.
Well, I think you would do best calling NKC and asking them if they require the registration names and numbers.
As far as testing him for DNA.....it's costly. Several hundreds of dollars. It depends on what vet you use for the testing, and what lab they use.
Do you need to DNA test him for weight pulling? I would say, if not, it's not worth the money.

o.k ive done this before, because my golden didn't come with papers, well i had no clue what her background was, so i put in random names, and filled the rest of it, took pics of her ect. well two days later, i relized i didn't put the pics in!!! so i was thinking they wouldn't send me the papers, well they did send the papers, my golden is a purebred, but they couldn't of known that, they didn't see her, they could of registered a lab mix under a golden retriever! what i'm saying is they will register anything with four legs and a check. all they want is your money. i would never go through them again, if i ever get a dog without papers ( shelter dog) its just not going to have papers.
