True Mardelin! It was more of a generic breeder questionnaire. I designed it to possibly catch more of the unscrupulous types if they lie about the registration to just sell the dog. If you are looking for a Morkie you should be aware that they cannot be AKC registered, so if they tell you the puppy can be, it would be a red flag.
It wasn't just for the pup either. The parents should, in theory, be purebred themselves and might have registration papers, which would be good to know.
Same with the licensing. I wouldn't really want to buy from a high volume breeder personally, so I if they had answered that they did indeed have a license and ran a large facility, I would have ruled them out for myself. The questionnaire is kinda multi-dimensional in that way. ^_^
It is to be used however the person administering it sees fit and what answers they are looking for depends on the individual. I thought I would just post it as a tool for others to use if they liked for whatever purpose they liked (purebred or not, I think it works as a starting point for either).
