Method of encouraging registration of animals with a breed registry

摘要

A method for encouraging purchasers of pets or other types of animals to register the animals with a genealogical or breed registry involves providing a purchaser of an animal, at the time of purchase, an application form for registration of the animal with the registry wherein the application form has printed thereon sire and dam information for at least two and preferably three or four immediately previous generations of the animal to permit the purchaser to make informed purchasing decisions concerning the genetic history of the animal at the time of purchase. The purchaser of an individual animal is instructed by instructions on the registration application to complete the application by providing a name for the animal and to return the application to the registry. Upon receipt of the application, the registry assigns a registration number to the animal and issues a certificate of registration to the purchaser including the name and registration number of the animal, and the sire and dam information for at least two immediately previous generations of the animal.
