AKC says sellers of registable puppies/dogs are to be sold with papers..if the papers are not available at the time of the sale, it is a red flag and you may never get them.. and in that case..all information needs to be provided at the time of the sale..sire/dam, reg numbers, DOB..
They also say, if a person buys a puppy without papers, with the understanding that papers will be furnished for payment of an additional amt of money, the buyer has ineffect forfeited any rights to the papers. If at some time the buyer wants papers the AKC can only advise them to work it out with the seller..
SO I guess AKC wants all pups to go with papers, but if they are not and the breeder wants more money for papers, they aren't getting involved..! |
