Reg. Or Not 2 Reg. That Is Tha ????

[Gamest]

What do yall think about dogs with papers and those who dont ? I have seen some really good one with no papers. Then again lots of people want that reassurnce that there dogs are reconized by certain ORGS. What do yall think. And who do yall prefer to REG. with.

This thread should catch on like fire!! In my opinion the paper work on a dog has nothing to do with the performance of the dog or how he will turn out. It is helpfull in knowing that he is bred the way you want but then again paper work can be altered but the dog itself cant be!! Most of the lines today will lead back basically to the same dogs so if you are dealing with one specific line you should be pretty familiar with it anyway. The papers are also a must have if you are into conformation shows and weight pull. Anyway that is how I feel about papers, if I find a good dog the papers wont make my decision on getting it or not.

I have always found the A.D.B.A. to be pretty honest people but as all registries they are in it for the money.

the thing with the papers is if you plan being recognized or even selling your pup, it would be easier. But by all means i agree that papers has nothing to do with the ability of one's dog

U r definetly right about the ADBA being in it just for the money. unless u send in for the rush fee u are waiting forever to get ur paper work. it is kinda like they want to take for ever so u pay the 10 day rush fee and get it in 20 days. every time i registered a dog with them and didnt put the rush on it i waited cose to 4 weeks. that is definetly one reason i like the AADR.
a buddy of mine had a real nice dog and went a couple years without knowing the backround on it till the person he bought the dog got out of jail and he got around to asking how the dog was bred. glad he got the paperwork on it also cause the dog turned out real nice.

I PERSONALLY AGREE WITH EVERYTHING EVERYONE HAS SAID TO THIS POINT.

1. THE ADBA IS IN IT FOR THE MONEY http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_17_207.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001)

2. PAPERS DO HELP SELL THE DOG. THESE DAYS SOME FOLKS EVEN WANT DUAL OR THREE WAY PAPERS. MAKE THEM PAY FOR IT. THIS IS A REALLY BIG HASSLE ON YOUR PART.

3. ONE OF THE MOST PERFECT DOGS I EVER HAD DIDN'T COME WITH PAPERS.http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/im/np.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001)

4. PAPERS OR NOT, A DOGS ABILITY TO HUNT COMES WITH HEART BECAUSE THE DOG WITH THE MOST HEART DIGS TILL THE JOBS DONE!

JUST MY OPINIONS........JMAN

Papers don't make the dog , but they're a plus. Just look at CH 35 had no papers and hardly any recognition.

[gator]

CH.35 is a perfect example,nothing was really known about that dog.

[Gamest]

35 was a good dog but i have never once seen him in any peds. Could this be cause he was not reg. and nobody wanted to breed to him ( JUST SOMETHING 2 THINK ABOUT ) Well i am gald to hear that it aint all about papers these day i have 3 that are not reg. But i know their peds.

As long as you have a reliable breeder that can give you a hand written pedigree and is trustworthy, why pay someone to tell you how your dog is bred and to give you a pretty certificate that says you own it. Some of our dogs are papered, some are not, but those that are not, we still know how are bred. As far as registries go, I'd rather register with the BFKC than the ADBA, better service, better people.

Yea 35 wasn't reg. that's part of the reason and the other part is because he wasn't bred alot. But still a helluva little dog.

[gator]

As long as I know how my dog is bred Im satisfied the papers are just something to store away.

[KnOck]

I definitely agree with you on that Gator.

Most of the dogs I bought have ADBA papers... But those that we bred are not regsitered. Why? first it's expensive coz where here in the Philippines! Second, we wait longger than you guys... Lastly... we keep records on our own and we also have a Local ORG that registers Pitbulls only.

[Gamest]

I agree with ya there here was a hell of a dog
