The dog was originally placed on limited registration, without papers, as a pet, regardless of the reasons why. The dog should have never been bred. Period. If this is something that you and the stud's owner didn't know about until after the fact, then the blame is yours for not researching and understanding the situation in advance. (Honestly, it kind of baffles me that two people would breed to begin with when they don't even understand the ins and outs of registering the dogs.)
Furthermore, you say you have a dog that from this litter that you are considering using as a stud in the future. IMO, from a moral standpoint, that option shouldn't even be up for consideration. The sire of the litter should have never been used for breeding, per the original sales agreement...therefore, neither should any offspring he's produced.
This is a prime example of why more and more RESPONSIBLE breeders are having their pups altered before placing them in their new homes. |
