Dog documents, what is it and why is it needed?

There is a cynological union in Ukraine - UKU-FCI. What kind of organization is this anyway? This is a union of cynological union of Ukraine, which controls the process related to purebred dogs. This organization gives permission to breed purebred dogs, registers their birth, provides documents for puppies, holds exhibition events for pedigree dogs and many other things, you can view their activities on their website - http://uku.com.ua/index.html

Dogs from this organization have a document. At birth, this is the metric of the puppy, after which the future owner can replace it with the pedigree. These documents have quite a lot of influence among purebred dogs, why exactly?

Consider an example: you decide to buy a purebred dog, the first thing that comes to mind is I go to the OLX site and choose a dog there. This is the start of your exciting story, which can lead you in the wrong direction. You find various ads and you have a dissonance: why does the Pembroke Welsh corgi breed cost somewhere around 5 thousand hryvnias, and somewhere around 60 thousand hryvnias, what is the difference between them.

The worst thing that can happen in your situation is that you don't even bother to check the difference between these puppies and immediately choose the cheaper one. This is where the problems begin. You pick up a dog that, most likely, was in some village in terrible conditions, but you decide that it's not that important and out of "pity" for the dog, you take the puppy home. The situation here can also progress in different ways. A puppy can get sick after 2 weeks, because it is unlikely that the puppy had all the vaccinations done correctly, or you got lucky and he did not get sick, but a year later you did not grow the corgi breed that you bought, but something completely different.

To avoid such situations, you should still choose a more expensive puppy. First of all, UKU-FCI breeders take care of their babies, their puppies are their children, whom they carefully monitor. Many kennels have social networks where you can view the conditions in which the puppies live and what they look like. Second, you have a document about the dog and its origin. Congratulations, you can be sure that you have really bought the breed that you planned.

If you have any questions, why a corgi costs 60 thousand hryvnias, when there is one for 5 thousand hryvnias, I will explain to you now. The fact is that people who sell a dog for 5 thousand hryvnias. do not invest anything in it. The puppy was born somewhere, ran around somewhere, and now we are selling it

In order to raise a Corgi puppy, you need a lot of money. It all does not fall from the sky :) First of all, it is a knitting, which is not free, its cost may depend on the dog, but for a corgi, the price can reach 1000 euros, if not more. Food for mom and puppies, nappies, vaccinations, chipping and paperwork, grooming, photos, births and contingencies and yet the time and love that the breeder puts into their babies.

Before getting a dog, consider whether you are willing to pay a large amount for a good dog to be sure of it and whether you will be able to keep it! A good dog costs money. If it is not possible to buy a purebred dog now, it is better to take it from the shelter, it will save you both nerves and money.
