I think if a breeder is selling dogs claiming they are from AKC registered stock, they should be required to provide the papers to the buyer. I can understand that they do not want the buyer to breed the puppy, but that is exactly what the LIMITED registration check box is for. Of course it does not stop the new owner from breeding, but it doesn't stop them by not providing the papers either. I guess I just feel more comfortable knowing that if the breeder provides the "proof" that the puppy is purebreed, it more than likely is. NOT IN ALL CASES.. but thier signature on that paper also gives some recourse if it is determined that the puppy is NOT purebred. |
