mommacat Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Ok, guys, can you help me? You know I have this little Japanese Spitz named Maya that I already love - here's the prob. When I looked up the breed, Dogo had a section on it, but the AKC doesn't list them at all. They list the Finnish Spitz, but no other kind. What is up with that? Isn't the J.Spitz a breed?? Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommacat Posted July 13, 2003 Author Share Posted July 13, 2003 I am almost ashamed to say it on here, because I know how many of you feel, but I answered an ad in the newspaper. :oops: We went to "look", and of course, you know how that works, this little girl went right up to my daughter and started trying to play with her hair, and we were hooked! Both parents were there, so I know she's a purebred, but have no papers. Now that I know the AKC doesnt register them, I wonder, could we have one that is registered in the US? All dogs that I've had that have been purebreds have been registered with the AKC, so I guess I just thought that was it for the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommacat Posted July 13, 2003 Author Share Posted July 13, 2003 Ickle - What is CC? I am confused :oops: Also - can you tell me anything specific about this breed? Should her fur stay fluffy (like a Samoyed) as she gets older, or will it be longer and lay flatter? Thanks for all your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ickle Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Hi Mommacat CCs are the cards you need to become a champion (Title) In the UK you need thee challenge certificates (CC) under three different judges to gain the title champion. ( To gain the title you need to get at least one of the three CCs when the dog is over 12months) Coat should as the samoyed. (They are believed to be related way back in their history) Treat the coat as you would your sammy's and you will not go wrong except we do trim around their feet & up the back of the [b]rear legs [/b]to the hock joint [b]Japs do not have snowshoes[/b]. If you saw the parents and you were happy about how the pup had been raised and the conditions where she lived were acceptable,then that is all that matters.She obviously has a good temprament or you would not have her. Why do you not collect all the info you can on your bitch (she must have a pedigree from her parents(( If not hers then theirs)and send a copy to the AKC who may be able l to help you with regards to registration etc. good luck with your baby & I loved the pics. Ickle good luck with her. Ickle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
