Jodielass Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) I am having so much trouble making this decision, have to decide now if i an going to put Jodie's pedigreed puppies on the main or limited register with Dogs Victoria.The main is only for breeding and showing.The limited is still a full pedigree All of Jodie's puppies are sold now and all of the new owners have wanted the puppy for a pet only. It is about $10 more for the main.Please tell me what to do and why. Edited May 11, 2011 by Jodielass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WreckitWhippet Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Limit register also, if you are not in a position to mentor and guide a new exhibitor or potential breeder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laneka Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Definately limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaffy Magee Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Limited only. The only time a pup should go on the main register is if it is of exceptional quality and is going to be shown or bred from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartok Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I am going to ask a Question and it isnt to inflame anyone or anything, just a question. If dogs from a breeder are sold as a family pet and on limited register should they also be desexed prior to going? I only ask this as nothing stops the "family" breeding the dog with either a different breed or even the same breed but not as good a quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to stop SOME people breeding is to de sex early. We all know the pros and cons about early desexing. But lets face it, it the only sure fired way to stop some people breeding, weather it be intentional or unintentional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lappiemum Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 If you have no plans for breeding or showing any of those puppies, they should be on limited. Makes no difference to the puppy buyers. Early desexing is another issue (and thread). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jodielass Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 What are your reasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megan_ Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 What are your reasons? Because they aren't going to be bred? That is what limited is for. The dogs can still be show quality, but if they aren't going to be shown and/or bred, there is no reason for them to be on mains. If, at a later stage, the dog turns out to be the best specimen ever etc and you/they want to breed it (with a prefix etc) then you can change it to mains later on.

Kaffy Magee Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Bartok, I agree. I think small breed pet puppies should be desexed and large breed pet puppies have vasectomies or tubal ligations, which I have done on my pups, unless the owners request a full spay or neuter. Unfortunately people can be great liars or honestly may not intend to breed but it only takes a thought or a suggestion from someone else to change their mind. I dont have to worry about that now and that is a huge worry taken from my shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodielass Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 You have all said exactly what i am thinking of doing. My breeder feels very strongly that i should do the main.She feels the reason why a puppy would put it on the limited was in case there was something wrong. I suppose i was lucky that she did do the main as i did breed, but i have gone from knowing nothing about breeding to learning as much as i could for 2 years.

Not everything in a litter is of exceptional quality. I suppose i was lucky that she did do the main as i did breed, but i have gone from knowing nothing about breeding to learning as much as i could for 2 years. You obviously did not learn enough if you can't decide between main and limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodielass Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Yes that is what I think exactly.I have asked all the new owners why they want the puppy and they all said as pets not interested in breeding or showing.These puppies would be show quality but if the owners are not interested why pay money for nothing.
