It is customary for breeders to send you the papers after you spay/neuter if the dog is sold as pet quality.
There should also be a health guarantee. My breeder puts in her contract that she should be notified if something happens and you can no longer keep the dog. |
Thank you for clarifying as I was beginning to be nervous about getting papers. She is providing papers after the fact, which is ok. Just wanted to make sure this is how it's done. And, there is a 1 yr health guarantee in the contract as well.
When I go to get the pup, are you saying I should ask to see the pedigree? And, at this point, the contract is sufficient in knowing I am getting a purebred and papers later?
