over here, the main reason for not registering a litter seems to be because the dam is being overbred... every season until she stops going into heat.
we have a big puppy farm problem here, shelters/rescues and my own vet has seen Far too many older (6-7+) toy breed dogs that people have bought from breeders (or have been abandoned) and are on the brink of death from overbreeding- thats the reason 'both parents kc reg, puppies not' sends up a red flag to me... as well as all reasons already given, keep this in mind if you wish to proceed, but you could be taking on a lot of medical costs if the breeder isnt being honest.
