If it is a puppy or young dog you get free insurance for six weeks.

It only costs £15 to transfer to your name, and the certificate is quite smart so for how little it costs I would do it, but there is actually no real need. Registration in your name is not proof of ownership, but I am proud of the dogs I have bred and like the owners to have them transferred. Having said that, if you check the records, I still 'own' quite a few of the dogs I bred, even though I sold them years ago! Don't be fooled by people who offer a cheaper puppy without registration (it often means they are not breeding from registered parents and they are probably not health tested).
