Couldn't it also be true that she wasn't giving papers because the dog comes with no breeding rights? Joey was sold on limited registration, meaning I could register him, but his offspring could never be registered. This is one of the reasons I encourage people to look for breeders who only sell on limited registration. They care about what happens to their dogs, and understand they are morally responsible for any dogs their dogs produce. Of course if you are looking to become a breeder, you have to find a breeder who is willing to mentor you, and usually you will not have full rights until you have shown that the dog is breeding worthy, and this usually means, by having health tests and showing. The Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) is comparable to the American Kennel Club (AKC) but the Continental Kennel Club (CKC) is considered a paper registry. These dogs are sold in both Canada and the United States, and I believe the registry was named that to mislead the unsuspecting public, but there is not real proof needed that they are indeed purebreds. |
