Can I just k.c. register 3 of my pups just now and wait until I see if the 4th is going to be o.k. and register him later on, or, do I have to register all 4 at once?  I've never had a poorly puppy in all the years ive had dogs, so dont really know what to do for the best.

My last litter took a record 3 days to register and return the KC papers, (at the longest it is within 7 days approx) so can you not wait a couple more weeks at least.

Are your pups 3 weeks now? If they are leaving you at 8 weeks, you could wait a little longer, and register them all together. :-)

I know the KC do accept late registrations of individual dogs and circumstances such as your own are very possibly the reason they have this rule.  It is a more expensive way of doing things (from memory of a press release some time back, around £50+ per dog to use the facility).

I hope the little 'un goes from strength to strength and as said by Carrington, registrations are currently going through very quickly so you should be able to wait for some time yet before registering any of the litter :)

Fingers crossed for you, Teri
