How this applies to Chihuahuas
In Chihuahua with pedigree, check if the registration data correspond to the identification of the puppy that was presented. The genealogy of Chihuahua has a documental function; vaccination card, clinical evaluation and electronic identification remain necessary for their own purposes.
Understanding Chihuahua care
Pedigree is a genealogy document that identifies the dog and records its ancestry according to the data of the issuing entity. It does not replace veterinary examination, vaccination record, contract or microchip. Each document meets a different purpose.
Everyday care for your Chihuahua
Check the name, date of birth, sex, identification and owner details. Ask how issuance and transfer work. Keep the pedigree with health and acquisition documents, and request corrections through the appropriate channels if you find discrepancies.
Checking pedigree details
Compare identification, birth, sex and names with the other records received. If there is disagreement, request clarification before using the document in another procedure. Store files and proofs of issuance or transfer in an organized manner, as different services may request specific information.
Registration and accurate information
The document has a genealogical purpose and must be interpreted in accordance with the rules of the issuing entity. Ask who requests the issue, how to follow the request and how to update the ownership. These steps do not replace the check of the dog’s identification or health documentation.
