As for getting extra papers, it would be hard to prove anything there. She could be getting extra papers and then going out and buying pups that aren't registered and selling the as registered. If she marks the papers limited with no breeding rights then she would not get caught because the dogs she is selling would not be bred and therefore never dna tested. If she is giving out false papers and giving the people breeding right then it will catch up with her sooner or later but it could be a serious problem for the people that unknowingly bought her pups because their registration papers would be revoked. Unfortunately there are many dishonest people out there that will do anything to make a buck. |
You are so very right, if someone wants to be dishonest they will be.
Actually I have heard of problems here in Canada and not just in yorkies.
What the dishonest breeder does is has some that are registered. They acquire puppies elsewhere, either bought cheap unregistered, bred unregistered ones themselves, or bred crosses.
They will then register a litter saying a certain femaile they had was the dam of the litter and they use a registration name and number often for a male they had. They may no longer even have the mother or the sire quoted on the litter application. Sometimes they are ones spay/neuter in a pet home but never transferred ownership.
Sometimes they will add a pup or two to a current litter born.
