 Reputation Means More.
I don't think anyone should be defensive when asking ANY questions about pups for sale. What I will say about AKC is this; I really do not believe that how the pups are registered is as important as the reputation of the breeder. I say this because I have an AKC registered Yorkie and after buying her found out that her papers were phonied up. The breeder listed another mother as the pups mom because the real mother was ACA or something like that and therefor the litter could not be registered AKC. I only found this out when I took the pup to the vet who I have had for 13 yrs. and he just happened to be the vet she used for her litter. When confronted she admitted to it. My contention is AKC, ACA or any other variation of letters is really useless because how do you know for sure that the parents are who the breeder says they are. This is why I think that when buying people really need to go not so much by paperwork but by the reputation of who they are dealing with. Elaine |
