Well, some breeders are not always prompt about getting the paper work in to AKC. I suggest you make a follow up call. It only takes a week to get papers back from AKC if done online, up to 3 weeks if done through the mail. For future purchases, it is appropriate for the breeders to provide the names and registration numbers of the sire and dam, especially if the dog is being sold with open registration. If buying a pet with limited registration some breeders are leery of giving out too much information until proof of spay or neuter is provided. |
