Pedigree
Pedigree is a document, where all ancestors of a dog are listed. When buying a puppy, its new owner gets an extract from a studbook. This book contains all nicknames of highbred dogs. The nicknames of single-litter puppies must begin with one and the same letter. The studbook incorporates all dogs’ nicknames of the breed Pit Bull terrier starting with official breed recognition. However, the pedigree extract given to a new owner, includes the nicknames of at most 30 dog’s foregoers up to 4th degree. A new owner has the right to name his pet differently, unlike the name written in the studbook and which is official. Pedigree is a state paper. The buyer of a puppy must make sure that the paper has the signatures of both the breeder and secretary of pedigree department. If the owner wants a litter of his Pit Bull to be admitted to further pedigree breeding, then the studbook must include the following records: - mating (the record is made by male’s owner); - whelping (the record is made by female’s owner); - litter examination and elimination of culled puppies ( the record is made by zootechnician). If the dog’s behavior and its exterior do not come under current standard, then its nickname is not brought in the studbook, and the puppy itself will be found unsuitable for further pedigree breeding. There is a possibility to find out about consanguineous mating of the dog’s progenitors from the studbook. Rights and duties of the dog’s owner If after a while from the date of getting the dog it is clearly understood that this animal does not possesses the qualities prescribed to it by the seller, the new owner can hold a demand against him, but in default of compensation paid the buyer can go to the law, but at that he must establish the seller’s guilt. Unfortunately, in practice, it is almost impossible to cancel such the purchase. Peculiar laws, where principles on purchase of the dog could be stated likewise, are not introduced everywhere. By this, it is too difficult to prove the seller’s guilt. So, it is recommended to examine a puppy already during buying and refuse to take it if necessary. A week later maximum after buying of thoroughbred dog its owner should reach a lawyer and guarantee the animal. Dogs are often guilty of casualties. If a dog bites someone or jumps out into carriageway and produces the crash, then a dog’s owner will have to cover a wrought loss. According to the law, right the owner is a person to be legally and materially accountable for the actions of his dog. Being insured, the owner can pay off great sum of money and feel comfortable without fear of losing his living. It is worthy of know that the tablet: “Beware of vicious dog!” does not relieve dog’s owner of responsibility for the pet and necessity for reparation of damage to property. Dog tax Most of civilized countries pay tax on dog management. It must be paid since the day when the puppy is 4 months. The payment is made once every three months, thereat dog’s owner gets a special counter confirming taxpaying. This counter is fixed to dog collar so that it should be seen well. In many civilized countries if a dog does not have a badge on discharge of tax or it is overdue, the pet can be caught and deforced from its owner.
