Or do we not care about those pets because by not having papers they can't trace back to your lines? |
I understand what you are saying...I think
You're saying that puppies with defects, or not to breed standard should be sold with limited registration. And that even though a dog is sold with limited registration doesn't necessarly mean that it won't be bred, because in most circumstances, if Joe, or Bubba is going to backyard breed or is a puppy mill then, they really don't care if the dog has papers or not, they can still sell the puppies for less money, or register them to another club...So it comes down to, who these breeders are selling their puppies to and do you trust them with your lines, limited registration or not. I don't personally like that someone would say that their puppies are sold with limited registration no matter what. I think there are honest people out there who want to breed, and if you trust this person and know what they are breeding your lines to (assuming that the lines are good, and the pup is a good representation of the breed) then I see no reason not to give them full registration. After all, someone gave "you" a chance, and if all dogs were sold on limited registration then there would be no more yorkies right? And that would just be sad! I don't know if I'm helping or stirring the pot? This is just my opinion and should be taken as just that.
