The agreement was I take him and raise him to 8wks old, I could keep him or she would sell him for $500 and I could have the money. Now that I fell in love and want to keep him the price for is his papers is 1800. How can she rightfully think she can get away with this when the people who paid $500 each for his litter mates got their papers. She has no money in this puppy I purchased everything myself. She knows full well this is her puppy no one in their right mind would pay $500 for a paperless dog. His price more like 3000 now with all the er vet bills and pirceless in my heart |
I'm sorry, but the fact that you call yourself a hobby breeder raises red flags for me. As a breeder, you should know better than to do anything without a contract.
If she opted to not register any of the pups, then there is nothing you can do to force her to do it. Even if she does have them registered, there is nothing you can do to force her to sell on an open registration.
I would also question the breeding stock of anyone who is willing to let dogs go for $500.00. You can be assured that she's cut corners in her breeding program, so why would you want to take the chance of adding that to your stock?
BTW, people pay $500 dollars for paperless dogs every day. Those people are called pet owners.
I'm sorry, but I feel from your posts that you feel entitled to have him on open registration because you "saved" him. As for his vet bills, that's what you get when you take on a dog. Any vet bills become your responsibility without a specific contract, and even then, only for certain conditions. Per your own posts, you said the agreement was for her to sell the dog and give you $500 or you could keep the dog. In no way does that imply a promise of an open registration.
