carrie Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Please excuse my ignorance. I have recently met a lady who is very proud to be a registered breeder and tells everyone that she is a registered breeder frequently. However, she has never bred a litter and she doesn't have a single registered dog! This is what confuses me. How can someone be registered as a breeder when all their dogs are unpapered and from backyard breeders? Can anyone register as a breeder without even owning a registered dog?

mixeduppup Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Yep, you can registered your stud prefix, you don't need to own a dog. I registered my prefix before I had a reg breeding dog. I currently only own one reg kelpie of breeding quality and have never bred a litter but it's in my future plans. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGirl85 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 She could be registered with the council Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakway Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) You can not become a registered breeder of your states controlling body unless 1. You are are fully financial member of the body. 2. Have fulfilled all the requirements to apply for a breeders prefix. 3. Have been granted a breeders Prefix. To prove this a member has a m/ship card and the prefix is usually printed on it. Unless this can be produced I would take it that the persons claiming to be a Registered breeder is not. This person may be registered with their council only. Which in my mind only makes them a back yard breeder.

I'd ask her what her prefix is. If she's a newly registered breeder, she'd probably love to know someone who asks about her prefix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyosha Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Short answer, yes. It's a bit like having a drivers licence but not a car. Maybe this person has plans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RallyValley Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 At least in WA you can't become a full member of Dogswest unless you own a pedigree dog. So in WA no you couldn't be a registered breeder without ever having owned a pedigree dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) She may say what she wants - as she has not bred anything, she is not a breeder, nor the owner of a registered dog, so she is not a registered breeder.

dotdashdot Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Im a newly registered breeder with DogsNSW as breeding is in my future plans. I currently owned one dog that I campaign as a neuter. Whenever I mention that I'm registered with a prefix though, I always say that I've never whelped a litter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Considering you have to be a registered breeder before you can breed a registered litter it would seem to me that many people would be a registered breeder before they get their dog or are ready to actually breed.Becoming a registered breeder and owning an entire purebred dog is not a requirement for application to state CC's anyway. There are several people I know in Victoria who are registered breeders with Vic dogs and breed puppies but don't register their puppies as the dogs they are breeding are not registered with Vicdogs . They are breeder members in order to be able to get the exemptions on numbers but breed first cross dogs and unpapered purebreds and working dogs with no papers. However, breeders can be registered with many different organisations and assuming its an ANKC affiliated group they are registered with is not really giving the potential answers.
