Ok a couple questions about sending my pups papers in. This is my first reg dog. How many generations should I get (3,4,6 or 7)? Or does it even matter? Also when naming the pup 'PR' that's in both sire and dam names is that something put on the name by the ukc? How long does the name have to be?

Example PR Gus's redtick two is usually all you need. Pr just means pedigree registered.

Actually, "PR" means purple ribbon. Purple ribbon signafies 3 previous generations of registered dogs. If both sire and dam are PR, so then is the pup as long as a litter registration is submitted.

Good to know I thought it was the other way for years lil

Thanks guys this helps. Yes both dam and sire are "PR". My wife and daughter named her Lucy so I'm thinking Smith's Lucille Bawl. But if she turns out without a bawl mouth that would kinda suck. Opinions?

I would just get a four generation pedigree, I just got a seven generation on a Plott puppy and it looks like a newspaper, way more than I really need although it is kind of interesting. I doubt if I spend another $40 for one and I imagine you will feel it is really more information than you want to deal with. Good luck with your pup and remember the most important thing is to make it fun for both of you.
