You as a breeder have to trust the person that you are selling the puppy to and trust that they will do the right thing with the puppy regurdless of registration.....and if you don't trust the person why sell them the dog with limited registration anyway??? Touchy subject and every one has different opinions about it and it just comes down to what the breeder feels comfortable in doing. But the way I look at it is, I would not sell a puppy to a person with a limited registration that I wouldn't sell a full registration to, because people lie, sadly, but they do and if the person wants to breed the dog, then they are going to no matter what. So I carefully research the buyer as I hope they research me. I have 4 puppies right now that none are sold yet. I have turned some people away because I didn't feel comfortable with their intentions. So my answer to the question originally asked is....All of my puppies are not sold with full registration, because some of them are not breeding quality, and thats what I base mine on. |
I fully understand what you're saying. But, since I primarely breed for myself for my next Champion to add to my breeding program, all others go out on spay/nueter and only to preapproved homes and people that are either repeat buyers or fully recommeneded to me. I don't ship, so all pups that leave are in local proximity. But, like you say you must fully trust the family to even consider them.
