Thread: Certificates...?

What should you receive from the breeder after spaying? the kind of 'proof of breed' thing

I am leaving this open ended to see what answers I get

I recieved my official full pedigree certificate when I purchased the kitten at 16 weeks. I don't have it to hand to check but I think it shows at least 3 generations of his family.

I only signed a form to say I would get the cat neutered at 6 months or when it was ready to be neutered.

1) Since my Rocco was purchased locally at the age of 16 weeks, the breeder allowed me up till 8 months to have him neutered. The breeder personally came to collect and send him to her regular vet for the surgery, once I have decided on when to have him 'done'. About 2 months later, I received his pedigree cert. directly from US, CFA showing the name of his sire and dam with "NOT FOR BREEDING" in bold.

2) As for Merlin, his 5 generation pedigree cert. arrived together with him. Before he arrived in Singapore, I had to sign a contract indicating that Merlin IS NOT TO BE USED FOR BREEDING. I was in constant contact with the breeder since Merlin's arrival with photo updates. After he was neutered here in Singapore, I just notify the breeder. I re-registered his pedigree with CFA in US at my own expense in the event that I would like to register him to enter shows.

I recieved the 5 (?) generation pedigree chart for Gryfn when I got him. Then I received transfer papers from the breeder with Gryfn registered in my name.
He was desexed at 12 weeks so before I got him.

Should receive a 4/5 generation pedigree certificate, signed by the breeder at point of collection (unless registered with FIFE) and should receive the registration paperwork once the kitten has been neutered.
