Angeluca Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) How long does it usually take to get a result of your application and test for a prefix. I put it in a fortnight this tuesday ago, and just a bit nervous And totally anxious to find out what the prefix will be. I got my girls health testing also getting done this month and it is a very nervous time lol! Before moving on to the next faze of deciding whether to breed her well cause if health tests fail then the answer to breeding that dog is nul and avoid. I have a baby due in october which we will find out the gender of this month aswel LMAO!!!. (Before I have to either defend why I may breed her No I will not be showing her, I have a number of breeders of the breed to check her conformation including her own breeder who is in 100% support of me. Ruby was attending obedience and progressing nicely until I got preg. And we have a big move and baby on the way so breeding is at least 18 months to 2 years away) Edited April 28, 2012 by Angeluca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you can ring and check on the progress of your prefix. Just because you have a prefix it does not follow that you will breed. A prefix has other uses - such as a 'Kennel Name.' It simply means you know the ethical boundaries and are aware of the current practices. PX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeluca Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Thanks I will ring monday. I wasn't sure about ringing, so i thought i'd ask here first. The suspense is killing me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsfevr Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I would say around 3 months alot will depend on whether all the first ones are rejected & you need to try again & even once approved when the prefix is published if someone objects to its closeness you then start again .

huga Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Prefix applications take between 6-9 weeks to process, they all get sent to Dogs VIC for consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyss Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Im new and learning so this is probably going to be a stupid question but whats a prefix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakway Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Im new and learning so this is probably going to be a stupid question but whats a prefix? It is name we like and would like all our puppies to be known as. It is like a surname but it goes in front of the dogs name/s If the name you are granted is Oakway all your puppies will have this in front of the name you apply for. Oakway Dress Fth Boys Oakway Swing Time Oakway Centre Court The dog must always be entered in shows with this official name and registration number along with it's sire and dam. You can call the dog any name you like at home but any official reference must always be the dog registered name on it's registration papers. :) Edited April 28, 2012 by oakway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angeluca Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 The suspense is going to kill me! I am not a patient person at the best of times lol but this whole process of, selecting a pup(s), waiting for 12 for health testing then a further 12 to 18 months for conformation to start settle, and true worth be assessed. This whole process is truly 3 yrs in the making and that is if everything goes right the first time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pockets Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 It doesn't take 3 months in Victoria I had mine back and approved in approx 2-3 weeks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baileys mum Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) It doesn't take 3 months in Victoria I had mine back and approved in approx 2-3 weeks :) It took a little longer for me as my 1st lot of names was rejected, so I had to submit a new lot of names, however the 2nd name of the 2nd lot of names was approved to my relief. All up it took about 6 weeks. It also took about 4 weeks to get my prefix exam results back which was also very suspensful.

GoldenWei Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Can't remember how long mine took, I don't remember it being a particularly long wait, and I got my first choice. That was 2 years ago in NSW and I am yet to breed my first litter. I assume you have a golden? If you don't mind me asking, who is she out of (PM me if you prefer)? I have just received back hip and elbow results for my golden boy, thankfully they were great results so I am very relieved. I agree, such a nervous wait.

Nope I don't mind Valvasor is my girl's breeder and very proud of her, I also have a boy bred by Glemaray his hips scores came back a couple of months ago, total 13 which is good, under average. His temperament and intelligence is Amazing, I know I'm being a little bias but it is what he was bred for as he has many many siblings in QLD and NSW guide dog association. But we still have a ways to go with both my goldies. I too chose a boy first but i couldn't walk away from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what is behind Valvasor, but I do know who they are. I know they have a bitch, about 18 months old, from my boys breeder. I don't really know them other than that. It's good that you have their support though, its something that I think is vital in all breeds really, but because they are such a popular breed, someone new entering the breed like yourself, and myself as well, really needs the support of experienced breeders to help make the right decisions :) Good luck with your girls test results.
