I was shocked for she her self said they were AKC and to us that comes with the dog. NO she charged him $100. if he wanted the papers. Then we had to turn around and pay for it to be reg.
so in other words she was letting him go $100. cheaper if we didnt want his papers. When I asked the reason for this she said she dont register them if people dont ask. |
Were you able to register him? The breeder has to register the litter before a pet owner can register the dog. Many breeders do this so the AKC won't know how many dogs they are truly breeding, or they don't want the dogs DNA tested. It's actually not that expensive to register a whole litter. Anyway, I would never recommend someone buy a dog from a breeder like this, but I think your story is very common.
