Is a pedigreed dog the same as registered dog ? Dog lovers are generally confused when owning a pup. The decision may be for choosing the breed, sex, and of course, the cross bred or pure bred. The situations and requirements differ among individuals and selection is purely subjective. Quite often, people tend to confuse the terms registered dogs and pedigreed dogs. And this knowledge is important especially when someone negotiate the real "value" for their ' would be' pup. Sometimes, we consider the terms same in certain situations while it is quite different in real sense. A pedigree merely lists a purebred dog's sire (father), dam(mother) and his / her ancestors for four generations. All pure breeds may have pedigrees, but to get registration with a kennel club, the pup's parents must already be registered. This makes sense to make sure that you see the registration certificates or at least have the proof of its availability. However it may be noted that, if you are not keen on exhibiting your dog but you prefer a companion, then registration is not a priority. Further, a registered breed would cost you more, but her offspring would also be financially worth. There are also situations where a dog without pedigree is registered. Though not commonly practiced, such entries are made after validating the breed characteristics. |
