Just want to say that I disagree with you.

#1 The AKC papers are supposed to validate the fact that your puppy is a purebred & the pedigree will also help you determine if there have been genetic issues in the parents or grandparents, approximate size, etc.

#2 There are lots of things that we consider "ours" that we cannot do anything we want with for the good of society. There are laws that govern what you can do with your home, automobile and even your children. People left to their own decisions about breeding have filled up the shelters to the degree that many healthy animals are euthanized every day.

#3 As it is your right to look elsewhere for your pup, it is also the breeders' rights to try to insure that their puppies will not end up as breeding stock for a puppy mill or byb. I am very thankful that there are laws in the US keeping people from doing "whatever they want to do". Those laws protect us (& our pets to some degree).

#4 I'm sure there are breeders who are in it strictly for the money. I don't think they should be allowed to breed theirs either. I don't think Yorkies should be strictly for the "rich" but they are very high maintenance and I wouldn't want someone to have one that had to choose between getting their pet proper medical care & their household expenses.

Hope we can disagree pleasantly

i think oviously she cant get the papers until she agrees to have him fixed, at that point whats the use of having papers.

but what i see is wrong is that she probably did get him and agreed to have him fixed for the papers and is still trying to breed him one time before she gets him fixed and gets his papers. she breaking the contract.

but i dont agree with limited registrations unless there are health concerns (i know 90% of you wouldnt agree) but these are the reasons why i think its unfair to limited registration ( these are just my opinions dont get mad at me )

1.) you are advertising AKC registered pups with limited registration there is really no need for the papers other than stating he/she is purebred and i think prices should be dropped because the papers arent doing any good. papers are good for breeding and showing. its nice to see the pedigree of course but you cant put the papers to use of anykind once they are fixed.

you cant show "fixed" puppies right?

2.) if i paid $XXX amount of dollars for a dog, thats my dog i want to be able to do what i want with it and dont want a person putting limits on what i can do with my dog. (sounds juvenile but its true and many people feel that way)

3.) if someone adveritised limited registration i myself will look elsewhere i will not continue looking for a puppy from that breeder. (nothing against the breeder or his/her pups just i dont want limits) Other people want to become possible breeders and i think it wrong to keep people from doing what they want to do

4.)i understand that the "reason" behind limiting the regsitration is so joe blow down the street wont breed a yorkie that isnt standard and sell puppies that are not standard. but i see that as his choice to make no one elses. but i also see it as competetion to the current breeders and i would think that also has a lot to do with limited registration. several breeders that i have coresponded with have admitted this, about prices going down, because more and more people are breeding them so there are more to choose from (not to say the quality is great, most probably arent)

But i do think this person is wrong for trying to "outsmart" the breeder to get another puppy for free basically. Good Luck in stering her in the other direction
