Actually that is an important point. You are the sole owner of the dog, and your husband has no right or ability to sell her.
So this is an ultimate proof of ownership. For example I would never buy a dog from someone who could not provide me this ultimate proof.
Let me add another point that the average dog owner might not value, or be bothered with (but at times should).
With the pedigree you get the registered names of the dam and sire. You can track their health over their life through various health databases. Unimportant.cough...cough.. not.
When you look them up you will also see what if any of their prodegy have various health tests done. Well you find out that one or two have had no passing CERF;s or been ddx'd with PRA. that is a warning or at least an alert to you.
My breeders know I track or try to track as well as I am able the littermates of my dogs, their parents and grandparents.
