Pedigree papers

[Tuuli]

Hi All

I have just received Bailey's pedigree papers and KC registration certificate.  I did not know that I have to pay the registration fee of £10.00.
Well, at least I have the papers now.

Cheerio

You don't Tuuli, the breeder does - in fact, the breeder already has to get the KC certificate - unless at the point of sale she mentioned you would have to pay £10 on receipt of the document?

I had to pay to transfer Buttons name into my name  :?: as when I picked her up all the paperwork was ready including the KC registration certificate which was in the breeders name  

Edited to add....I think that some breeders (mine being the case) register the puppies fairly quickly before they are sold. So they are all registered in the breeders name. I was perfectly happy to pay the £10 transfer of ownership fee. I would rather that than come away from picking your puppy up without any KC Papers. Once the £10 was paid I the received my 6 weeks free insurance documentation

All puppies have to be registered in the breeder's name - there is no other way of doing it ie a breeder cannot register pups in the new owner's name. The breeder will have paid £12 per pup to register them & it is then up to the new owners to officially transfer their pup into their own names (another £10 for the Kennel Club per pup!). I have to say that a lot of pet owners do not bother with the KC transfer - I expect we have quite a few dogs still registered in our names at the Kennel Club although we don't own them :wink:

That's exactly what Morgan's breeder said to me   .  As well as the fact that I'm notoriously bad at getting round to filling in and returning forms,  I didn't really see what difference it would make to have Morgan and Cooper in my name as I will not be showing or breeding them  :?     They are both still registered to their breeders.

Yes, the transfer of ownership is indeed something you have to pay additionally for - I originally thought Tuuli meant the breeder was trying to recover the cost of registering the pup with the KC in the first place
