i've had to learn those lessons the hard way about trusting other people!
all i wanted to say to this thread topic is that next time, either make a contract and get all the papers in your hands and make copies of them if you are that interested in AKC or any registration on the dogs...
that being said, there are LOTS of people out there more than happy to buy a nonregistered dog at a good price. i am one of them, my girl can be registered with APRI, which means nothing to me, and probably means nothing to anyone else, other than being curious about her family tree (not worth calling it a true pedigree) i could really care less about her registry. she's not a show dog, and she's not a breeder, she's a family member. she could be registered with the target bridal registry for all i really care, so i'm just saying this to let you know that you don't need to fear that you won't make a decent sale from your puppies just because they don't have a full registry, even though now it sounds like they do. being part of a kennel club doesn't make a dog better than any other dog IMO. it's still a dog, it will still be purebred yorkie and beautiful and as long as the buyer wants a pet not a show dog, they will be fine without the papers and paying a decent and fair amount for them...
good luck, so sorry you had to deal with such a lying and manipulative person and got caught in the middle with her. i'm glad you aren't giving her a puppy, she doesn't deserve to own dogs IMO she's not a good owner or breeder. hope those little ones go to great homes, interview those buyers ok???
have a great day. |
