Tail Hair - Page 3

Thank you Fantom76 for clearing this up.  I was sure hoping that kennel Bemki had not pulled a fast one.

I think a a lot of it was her coat shedding. Because in past few days it has started to come back much stronger. When I get updated results from vet on thyroid in a few months I will gladly share results as I appreciate your advice as well as concern greatly.

As far as two dogs with the same name. I am still puzzled here. I have called AKC and they say I have correct DN number as I already sent in certificate on her which I received from breeder. However when I say breeder he did not raise litter but the guy who sold me the dog I guess would be better phrasing. I don't understand what they would have gained. I am not sure where the other dog is as far as the country goes, but perhaps still in Serbia. They would have had to have had a dog to send over and register here so that is an issue too. As far as microchip goes, the vet was unable to find the chip. This seemed to be another red flag, but the guy who sold me the dog (who has always been honest with me thus far) stated if Chip was implanted in Serbia it may not be on same frequency as the reader here. This could be a  faint possibility but most vets have scanners that have multiple frequency reading capabilities.
 

Scan the left side of the neck just below the ear.  That is where they put it in Europe.

I have sent you a PM

Just out of curiosity @jrv112, apart from doing the tests, what was your vet's actual opinion on the hair loss ?

 

Sorry to hear of the confusion about the ID of your dog, didn't notice anything amiss when I looked at her ped (but then, that wasn't what I was looking for !)

I cannot definitely say that something is wrong, but I can say this. There are 49 dogs on PDB from the Bemiki kennels which are located in Serbia. The SV online database lists 3 of them. (Korina, Megi and Megan). The breeder is listed as Milan Belic, RS - Kikinda (Serbia).

You have to be a paying member to see everything on the site, but here is what the SV shows for Megan Bemiki.   https://www.sv-doxs.net/hund/9189067

I cannot say that this is your dog, but I can say that your dog Megi

1 has the same kennel name,

2. the same date of birth

3. the same sire

4. the same  dam,

5. so your dog has to have come from this litter. 

Thus your dog had to be imported into this country from Serbia. I would reccommend contacting AKC and getting the information on who is shown as the breeder and the breeders location.  I would ask AKC if they have an Import document and that you want to see it because of your doubts as to the validity of the dogs pedigree.  All imported dogs have to be DNA tested and you might be able to do something with that... though AKC does not show a DNA number.

I'm sorry, but that is about all that I can help you with.  I think that you need to contact AKC and the people involved with the dog.  Good Luck. 

 

EU chips are ISO chips. You'll need to buy a scanner for it. There are so many different frequencies that the multi-frequency scans are usually for the most popular, so a vet scanner won't pick it up necessarily. I don't think ISO chips are popular in the USA.

I could be incorrect, but it's worth looking into.

Fantom, DNA is only required for imports that have been/will be used for breeding. As long as the dog has a means of positive identification (chip, tattoo, DNA), it can be registered with AKC. The microchip number could've been used in lieu of DNA.

Thanks Reliya, I did not know that as I do not breed dogs (I just do pedigrees).... but she did not find a microchip number... but as you say.. maybe she did not have the right scanner. I think the best choice if she is worried about the dog, is to go back to AKC and ask for an import pedigree. That is still needed for any dog brought into the USA.... correct?

Where did the OP get Megan, from Serbia or USA? I know they said they got Megan on Monday. AKC has Megi DN43946101 born 1 May 2015, on here at PDB they have Megi born on 17 Nov. 2013 but doesn't show AKC number. Megan was still in Serbia 30 April 2016. Could she be registered that fast with AKC, import papers? This sounds like a big mess!

@Fantom: Yes, the import pedigree is still needed to register.

@Hukka: It is possible for the person overseas to submit the registration paperwork to the AKC if the dog is registered in their name and simultaneously change ownership over to a new owner on the same foreign dog application form, so there is a possibility that the dog was registered with AKC before being shipped. (But that seems unlikely to me. I don't think anybody would go through the trouble.)
