I am willing to try again. When I said the registration papers could only be as good as the reputation of the breeder, I was saying that you should expect registration papers on a purebred dog. There certainly are some breeders that will sell you papers which under both AKC and Canadian Kennel Club is illegal. There are some breeders taht you can't be real sure the alleged sire and dam on paperwork whether you actually got the registration papers or not, really are the sire and dam.
What I am saying is do your homework but in that process also expect your breeder selling you a puppy to provide the proper registration paperwork.
From my experience here in Canada from people who are my dog grooming clients and who have bought puppies nonregistered, 99% of those puppies were not purebred at all. |
