Maybe if you could tell us who the breeder is we could advise better.
Reputable breeders will sell their pups on Limited registration when selling as a pet.
If you are buying a show/breed quality you will pay much more.
Beamer cost me over $1000 too, and he is a beautiful pet. |
I agree, a
good reputable breeder would never sell a pup with unlimited registration to someone they didn't know VERY well, if at all.
Also, there's no way to tell whether a pup will be show quality until it's several months old. I would have a serious problem with any breeder who made such a claim on a puppy only weeks old. I know this didn't address your original questions but your breeder is raising several alarms for me. I'd encourage you to get your deposit back and start researching for a
good breeder.
ETA: I forgot to ask if you intend to breed? Have you ever bred before? Please consider finding a mentor
before selecting pups to breed.
