c sections, i am trying to find the info for a person at club
about how many c sections a bitch can have she said that
this was her bitches 3rd c section and i thought it was less
than that

You can now only register two litters by c sec from a bitch, part of the reason the number of unregistered puppies has risen.

This will tell you

It's on the registraion document, and also if you regsiter on-line it is there too.

She won't be able to register this litter.  Even without this ruel how coudl anyone mate a bitch after two C sections.  Same as the not from parent top offspring and full siblings rule, who these days evcer did that?  Except for accidental matings.

I rteally thought the KC brought both these ruels in as they woudl have minimum impact on good breeding practice, but give a clear message of what is not generally approved of/done.

part of the reason the number of unregistered puppies has risen.

Well then we finally have at least one more reason that Joe Public should be told about for why they should only buy KC registered pups -you know the poor bitch hasn't had to go through several sections.

that is the reason i am going to print the document off to show her, she said to me i am only a hobby breeder so it does not meen me it is only for proper breeders . Talk about me being gobsmacked , i said i do not care you are a breeder and think of your poor bitch, the pups are worth a lot of money though even when not registered but at least i can show her i was correct

If you give birth to a child your a 'parent' you allow yoru animal to have young your 'a breeder', simples.

she said to me i am only a hobby breeder so it does not meen me it is only for proper breeders .

Scary that people are so ignorant. :(

but it is a comment I hear over and over, ti seems that if they go to a proper breeder they expect health testing etc, but don't seem to think ti applies to them just breeding the odd litter. 

Double standards or what.

It is like the I don't need to health test, show or trial I only breed dogs as pets.
