please could someone tell me if my staffy bitch is unable to enter shows as she is not kc registered , i am also unable to register her as  only her dad has a kc registration number, her mum unfortunately never sent for hers. is there any shows she could enter without one as she has the potential to do well, or is there any way of getting it ,she is only 9 weeks old any advice please.

If the pups Dam is KC registered, but was not transfered into the breeders name, then this xan still be done now, and provided that there were no breeding restrictions placed on her4 registration the pups breeder should then be able to register the pup or puppies.

Unregistered dogs can enter Companion dog shows, but the pedigree part of this does not have seperate breed classes, and it is really just purely for fun, as more often than not the judge will not be an expert in your breed.

If you have a nice pup then you will then want to move up to the Open shows,and if she is reallynice to Championship shows to really see how she measures against the breed standard and her contemporaries.

Unless both parents are registard then she can't be registard.  You can still show her at companion shows in the pedigree classes tho these shows only really appear in the summer time and it is all a huge amount of fun.

thanks for that , only the sire has his kc reg number, the dam isnt, so unfortunately she carnt be registered then however, we may consider thes other shows when shes older, thanks

Rox,
You can have plenty of fun at Companion dog shows, they are not so serious ( or so expensive) as other KC shows. Also you can gain a lot of experience about showing from them without spending a lot of time or money. Later, if you decide to get another dog for showing, you'll be a lot more informed about what to do or not to do.
Most Companion Shows are held in the summer anyway, so you have time to think about it.
Have fun
