In agreement with Deb. If one is purchasing a purebred dog, one should expect the paper work confirming the validity of said dog. Keeping in mind that this doesn't guarantee quality of the dog or the integrity of the breeder.
I don't know how many times I've received phone calls asking about such and such breeder that advertises in the AKC classifieds.....They under the misconception that all breeders that are AKC are reputable, most of them are, but some aren't. Again, it boils down to one doing their homework.
