Papers or ID on My 12 Week Old German Rottweiler?

Don't make the same mistakes I made with my Rottweiler!

What can i get in writing to show that my 12 week old german rottweiler is mine? If i can get papers this young that would be great, but the mom and dad weren’t registered. Or if i can get some form of ID that would be great also! Any suggestions?

The purchase contract or some other form of receipt will work just as well as a kennel club resistration. (You can’t get a reputable kennel club registration for your dog if the parents weren’t registered, though.)

You could also get an ID tag and put it one his collar.

Records from your veterinarian will also show that you are the owner and have been bringing him for regular care. And you are probably required to get a city dog license once he’s old enough.

However, ID tags can get lost or removed. Receipts, veterinary records, city licenses and even registration papers generally only show that you have *A* 12-week old Rottweiler – it’s tough to use them to prove that you own *THIS* particular Rottweiler.

The only permanent form of ID would be a microchip or a tatoo. A microchip is much better – it’s less invasive and you can register the number in a database so that if he’s lost and someone finds him, they can contact the database and the database can contact you. I microchip can be easily implanted in the vet’s office while your dog is awake – but I generally recommend doing it at the same time as neutering so it can be done under anesthesia.

    bill of sale from the owner is the only thing you can get. ( just like buying a used car)

    Get the dog microchipped. This will provide a form of permanent identification that will also help him get back home to you should he ever get lost. Except in very special circumstances, you can’t get papers for a dog whose parents weren’t registered.

    Well if the dog is yours then you can get it microchipped and log the details in your name.

    You won’t be able to get any recognised registration papers.

    No, probably not. If the sire and dam were not already registered with papers, then there is no way you can prove your dog is a purebred. Usually purebred registration is regulated by the breeder when the puppies are born as a part of the contract of sale, and it is normal to require that the purebred puppies, if registered, include the breeding kennel’s name in the official registration name. It is also normal to require that the puppies be spayed/neutered, because the breeder would normally get a share in any profits from any breeding you do with your puppy.

    All of this assumes that the breeder is a reputable, AKC breeder, that cares for the dogs and where the puppies are "kitchen-raised," etc. If you got your dog from a puppy mill or a large-scale breeding operation, it is likely that your dog actually is not a purebred–particularly if the purebred paperwork was not handled as a part of sale when you got the puppy.

    all you can do is really take it to the vet and keep its records, microchip it, and name tag for its collar

    No papers on mom and dad, means no papers for pup. Get a bill of sale from the person you bought it from.
