Question
QUESTION: How do you double register and I have a UKC registered dog and am interested in weight pulling I want to know if you can pull in any sanctioned event?

ANSWER: The route you take to get your dog double registered will depend on which other registry you want to put him/her in. Pretty much every registry has their own set of requirements. If you can tell me which registry you are wanting to put the dog in, I can try to help you figure out what you would need to do to get your dog registered.

As far as weight-pulling events go...I could be wrong, but, it is my understanding that the only events your dog would be able to be entered into right now would be those sanctioned by the UKC. If you want to put the dog in any other club's events, your dog would have to be registered with those clubs, as well. I don't have much experience with weight-pulls so, like I said, I could be wrong...but I don't think I am.

QUESTION: I would probably like to go with ADBA or APBT im not 100% sure yet.

Answer
Scott,

I copied and pasted the following information off of the ADBAs web site. It can be found under "single registration" at:

(just copy and paste the url in your web browser)

Hope this helps.



We must have no less than THREE complete generations back on the dog that you are registering. We also need to know the complete registered names of all the dogs in the pedigree. This means the breeder's name and the dog's name (example: Smith's "Tonka").

If the dogs in your pedigree are not found in the existing ADBA files we will ask for pedigree verification. This means that you will need to submit a copy of the organization papers (U.K.C., A.K.C.,etc) where the pedigree information was taken from. If are not able to locate this information then we wouldn't be able to register this dog with the ADBA.)

If the sire or the dam of the dog being registered is registered with the ADBA you will need the owners' of those dogs to sign your single registration application. This signature is needed for verification that the breeding between those two dogs did take place.
