Give each puppy a microchip that is pre-registered to the new owner w/you as the second name.

Send each puppy home with the information for a free month of Trupanion Pet Insurance, and require them to set it up, it is free and they can use it for their well puppy check up. 

Review and renew every year.    

What you get….

Free initial litter applications.   If every puppy in your litter is registered, you will get your next initial litter application free.  Continue to register each puppy in every litter and you will never pay for the initial litter registration fee again.    

When you pre-register each puppy, you receive  a savings of $10 for each puppy—pay $25 instead of $35 per puppy.  (The information on how to use this feature is listed below.) 

Microchips from  Buddy Pet will basically be free if you use for every puppy,  just make sure to list numbers on the papers so they will be on the papers.  If you use another brand, be sure to list those numbers on their puppy paper, that way the numbers will appear on the final papers. 

Trupanion health insurance is free for breeder to sign up for and free for the new owner to start.  It will even cover the well puppy check up.   Here is a link to their page. 

You will be given a Blue Ribbon Breeder badge on your breeders listing and honored on the page for Blue Ribbon Breeders only on the American Stock Dog Registry Web Site.   

There is a one time lifetime registration fee for the program. 

Renewable once a year when all requirements are met. 

If you choose to genetically test all your dogs and OFA test, you will become a Blue Ribbon Plus breeder.

PUPPY PRE-REGISTRATION  

We are excited to announce that Breeders can now pre-registerthe  puppies from their  litters before they go to their new owners! You may be asking why would you o this? Well, here are the benefits!

1. This will ensure that every puppy in your litter gets registered giving you a free litter registration on your next litter (this saves you $30). Make sure you email us when you go to register the next litter to get this offer.
2. YOU will get to mark the breeding rights section on the registration paper. This ensures that you never miss an email to approve a registration and a puppy you sold on limited registration gets marked with full and you miss it.
3. You will register the puppy starting with your kennel name (your kennel name must be registered with us for the new puppy owner to not be able to take it off), the new owner will be able to change the name but will not be able to take the kennel name off when making this change. This means you again do not have to worry about catching the email and making the changes within the 10 days we allow.
4. We will be discounting the registration price per puppy when the breeder registers all puppies themselves. Our registrations are $35, and if you the breeder registers the entire litter at once the price will be $25 per puppy, reducing the overall price for you or your puppy buyers by $10 per puppy. This means with a litter of 6 puppies you would be saving $60 plus the $30 for the next litter registration. Litters older than 2 years do not qualify in this program.

So now you may be wondering; how do I go about pre-registering my puppies.

1. You will register your litter (on your first litter you will have to pay the $30), if you have a litter that all puppies have been registered in, register your litter online and then click check or money order at checkout, then send an email to litters@americanstockdog.org saying you have a litter with all the puppies registered and you would like to use your free litter registration, please include the litter number from BOTH litters (the one with all pups previously registered and the new litter you are registering for free). Please give us 24 business hours (Monday-Thursday) to update the litter.
2. Once the litter registration is finalized, on the website go to register, click on register Puppies & Dogs, choose register from a litter that I own, select your litter, and a puppy number and click continue.
3. Verify you have selected the correct puppy litter and gender and click continue.
4. Fill out the puppy’s information. On the dogs registered name MAKE SURE you include your kennel name if you want it included in the final registered name, you will then make up a name for the puppy so you can identify with one it is, the new owner will have a chance to change the ending during final registration. This can be something as simple as your kennel name, the moms name and puppy 1, or if you give puppies a “litter name” you could do your kennel name followed by the litter name, or your kennel name and the new owners name, ect. Also, double check that you click the correct registration status (limited or full). Verify all information and click continue.
5. On the owner information page mark that you are the owner and there are no co-owners.
6. Verify all information, agree to the terms, and add to cart.
7. Repeat steps 2-6 on all puppies in the litter.
8. Once you have registered all puppies, click the cart icon at the top of the page.
9. Continue check-out and select to pay with a check or money order.
10. After you have completed check out send an email to applications@americanstockdog.org stating you have completed the entire litters pre-registration and would like to pay or have already paid if you have done so please include the following: your card information (we need name on the card, card number, expiration date, zip code and the 3 digit security code), paypal transaction number (all paypal payments should be made to admin@americanstockdog.org), or you can call to make the payment over the phone.
11. You will receive a reply email from us within 72 business hours stating we have processed your request and payment.
12. When it is time for puppies to go home, you will go to account, click on litters, select the litter that puppy is from, find their litter number (with the temporary registered name you gave them), and print out the litter application and givie it to the new owner along with the Link to the wufoo form they will use to make the transfer.  
13. The application will be blank so you will need to let the new puppy owners know that they need to scan or take a photo of this application to include when filling out the following Wufoo form. You can also require they fill out this form at pickup and scan and fill out the Wufoo form yourself to ensure the registration process gets complete. At this point they will also need to choose their registered name for their dog. We will keep your kennel name at the front of the dog’s name as long as your kennel name is registered with us and just change the ending that they choose. Just a reminder when including your kennel name, we have a character limit of 40 for the entire dog name (so be courteous to your buyers and shorten your kennel name when possible). 
14. Once we have received wufoo form application from your or the puppy buyer, we will finalize  and mail the registration paper directly to the new owner.

Remember, we will provide a link to the Wufoo form for the new owners to complete the process.
