OK Nanouk, you are right but as a responseble breeder I will get names by my puppies.
As you wrote, you can breed without that part but for registration of your kennelname you have to do the first part of the course.
Having one female and having one litter of course it is very intensive to do this all but I think it is wise to do it, because you learn a lot and your puppies will having a kennelname.
There is also a difference between the kennelclub and the organisation of animal protection about the litters and the puppies. One say 4 litters and the other one say 20 puppies
The kennelclub sais that for "hobby" breeding you can go till 4 litters and/of 20 puppies. After that your are a "professional" breeder.
When you have 3 females and all three are mated and they give each 7 puppies. (Also you keep these females in your house and not in kennels) What are you then, a professional breeder or a hobbybreeder. You still have 3 litters but there are more then 20 puppies?????
I know one puppy will not give any problem but what to do when they give all 9 puppies. Maybe the kennelclub will not give you the papers and what then.
I think it is still wise to have the kennelname and to do these course but this is my personel opinion.
Letty
