Transfer of Ownership
If the dog is advertised as Kennel Club registered, you should make sure that you see the Kennel Club
registration certificate for the puppy before you take the puppy home. The breeder should hand you a blue Kennel Club Breeder certificate, pictured right, which includes all the puppy's details that are registered with the Kennel Club. Please make sure that the breeder has signed the transfer of ownership form on the back of the certificate and completed the date of sale field.
What to do when you get your Kennel Club registered puppy home:
On the back of the Kennel Club Breeder certificate is the form to transfer the puppy into the name of the new owner. Please ensure that all parties have completed and signed the relevant sections.
