Labradoodle and Australian Labradoodle RegistrationYour Labradoodle puppy will be registered with the International Labradoodle Association (ILA). With your purchase you will
receive a 6 generation pedigree. This includes the AKC pedigree of
our parents reg. with the AKC. Only Purebred dogs can be reg. with
the AKC. Roxie, Bentley, and Ben are Purebred dogs and are reg.
with the AKC. This pedigree includes their champion
heritage.
Any two purebred dogs, registered with the AKC
can have their litter registered with the CKC and therefore a
labradoodle can be registered without question. The breed falls into
the misc. category until the breed is accepted by the CKC as other
than misc. The breed will most likely in my life time not become
registered as a purebred with the AKC, but the CKC is on it's way to
this soon. Here is exactly what the CKC has to say about these misc.
breeds.
"Continental Kennel Club has a miscellaneous section
for developing new breeds. CKC will recognize a cross between any
two purebred dogs, and will issue a registration certificate on
their offspring. These crosses are not registered as purebred dogs
but are registered as the offspring of purebred dogs. The
registration certificate for these crosses will show MISC followed
by the two parent breeds. When we register a sufficient number of a
particular cross, it will be assigned a name; for example, MISC:
PEKINGESE / POODLE is MISC/PEK-A-POO. After a name has been
assigned, we encourage those breeders who are breeding this cross to
form their own breed club in order to set a standard for the dogs to
breed true. The dogs from these crosses will not be registered as
purebred until the dogs are breeding true to standard for several
generations. By allowing the breeders the option of
developing new breeds, we are promoting the breeding of better dogs.
For more information on crosses being bred worldwide such as the
Bichon/Yorkie, the Labradoodle, the Cockerpoo, and the Bull Boxer,
refer to The Encyclopedia of the Dog by Bruce Fogle
D.V.M.
With Continental Kennel Club, new breeds must be
developed in at least 3 different closed colonies. Having a minimum
of 3 separate colonies guarantees a much larger gene pool when
developing a new breed. These colonies will breed towards the same
standard that will be set forth by CKC. Once the dogs begin breeding
true to type, the colonies can then be crossed among themselves in
order to maintain an even larger genetic pool. The misc. hybrid
lines will continue to be bred should a second gene pool be needed
for the protection and health of the new breed being
developed.
Classifications on Misc. dogs will be changed once
CKC has determined that these dogs have been breeding true for
several generations, and has been approved for movement from the
Misc. class to the purebred status. After opening the
miscellaneous section of our club, allowing for the crossing of any
two purebred dogs, we started
receiving very interesting information from the breeders. We started
getting reports that the
offspring of these breeding were stronger, healthier, and less
susceptible to diseases. When they bred the same Poodles to Poodles, their puppies were not as healthy, weaker,
and more susceptible to disease, and they raised less puppies
per litter. We were receiving information of this type from almost
all of the crosses. With this type of data
being compiled, we began doing crosscheck questionnaires and
gathering other information about these unusual reports. This
information that is being collected in our database will be of
tremendous value in the study of genetics in the future. Our
information, so far, seems to indicate that when two different
breeds are crossed, the puppies seem to
be far heartier, easier to raise, and less susceptible to diseases,
which is now being confirmed by top geneticist
worldwide. Since CKC’s beginning this information has been
collected and entered into our database and will be available for
future scientific studies. To this end, we hope to provide for the
breeding of healthier and more vibrant dogs, which will be less
susceptible to diseases."
If you want to show your puppy in
CKC shows let us know and we will help register your puppy with
you.
