The only way to tell if a dog is purebred is with papers from an honest breeder. (Disreputable breeders will falsify papers, or use one of the many new "pet" registries, such as the UKCI, APRI, Continental Kennel Club, etc.) You can take a good guess at his breed based on his appearance, but you will never know for sure unless he's from a registered litter.

What brand of food is better Pedigree or Eukanuba?

It´s easy! I don´t know much about chemistry ingredients, but if you are feeding your dog with Pedigree, try to change it to Eukanuba for just three months. You will notice a better hair and a no odor in his/her manure. Eukanuba and Proplan are way better than Pedigree or Dog Chow!

How can you prove your dalmatian is pedigree?

You must have papers for both the Mother and Father of the dog. Without papers, there is no way to prove without a shadow of a doubt that the breed is purebred or not.


How can you trace your bishon without papers?

Assuming you mean the dog breed 'Bichon Frise' - the simple answer is, you can't ! Pedigree papers contain genealogical information such as the Sire & Dam of the puppy (and at least three previous generations). They also list the registered owner(s) of the parent dogs. Without the pedigree papers - there is no way of tracing the dog's bloodline, and if you were to breed your dog, you would not be able to legally sell any puppies as pedigrees. Basically, unless you can get the certification from the breeder - your dog is 'just another dog' !

Is there a way to get a purebred dog without it costing too much?

Yes - look online and in magazines etc. Dog sellers will state whether thier dogs are purebred or not. If they don't you could always ask them. Often dog sellers that happen to have purebred dogs (not pedigree, just pure) will sell them for the same price as any other dog!

How does vets bills and such differ if the dog is a pedigree?

If your pet is health there shouldn't be any difference. Different breeds may require more health care. If you buy a pedigreed dog, the breeder will more than likely know the history of the lines. Make sure you go to a responsible breeder. If you are adopting a dog or puppy, you will probably have no way of knowing the history and will just have to make sure you meet your pets regular health needs as if it does have a pedigree. They all need regular check ups, vaccinations, some need extras. It doesn't cost more in vet bills to have a pedigreed dog than it does any other. They don't charge according to breed.
