I'm rather confused as to why this thread has turned into a battle of wits, amongst a group that has the best interest of the dogs.

Bottom, line is we share opinions, do what is best for our dog, based on our immediate circumstances, as long as the dog's health isn't jeopardized.

If one chooses not to register a dog, because it is later found out the breeder was of a questionable reputation, I understand. However, look at it from another aspect, unless you do register a dog, and something out of the ordinary turns up, you have no course of action.
