This again is for bbright14.
I found the following in another part of the regional forums on a "bad yorky reseller" I forget the exact one, and how to get it here, it does mention information about selling dogs without registration and limited registration.
I did a cut and paste for you to take a look at the following, just be aware, that selling without papers is easier for some folks to do, but even with the AKC limited registration, it can't keep people from doing what they want to do. I am in no way in favor of selling without papers or defying the limited registration. Its a shame, but it is a fact that some people are going to be dishonest,both buyers and sellers. Hopefully they are far and few between.
Ask questions and be aware of the facts in order to best arm yourself against most problems. You can't guard against everything and everyone, but do explore as far as you can. Keep learning!

An astute, but not nesessarily an ethical pet supplier, will notice a potential customer's preference for a particular puppy and of course that one is "The Special One" that costs more than all the others.
The reputable breeder has a price for pet quality males, females, and generally a higher price for Show Quality dogs of both sexes. Most reputable breeders don't want to sell outright, a show quality dog. They much prefer to come up with an agreement to co-own the dog until it has achieved Champoinship status. The breeder then has the pick of the litter from any resulting puppies and only then does complete ownership transfer. I know of many breeders that include a clause that states: if the dog is to change hands, the breeder has the right of first refusal. |
