That's why it's so important for breeders to develop a relationship with the perspective buyer. I mean you could cover this problem, but a dozen other things could happen. You have to do what you can to get to know the person, and if the person is too impatient, they can look elsewhere. Joey's breeder didn't send me the registration forms until the neutering was done, and obviously, an unethical person, could have breed him with the CKC or one of the alternative registries, but she does have a clause in her contract that she can confiscate him at anytime, and I have to ask her permission before rehoming. So if his breeder is reading this Joey's lying next to me right now in his little bed, and is very happy!
