That means that while we are striving to hopefully produce the 'perfect Yorkies' we don't and will very carefully scrutinze a pet home for these puppies that we don't want to keep in our breeding program or anyone elses. They are not sold ever because of health problems.
There may be faults of too small, too big, not a level topline we want, other conformation issues that this is not going to be show dog and therefore will be sold AKC registered with limited registration or if Canadian, Canadian Kennel Club with spay/neuter contracts. Yes, all puppies sold for pet from a breeder that is purebred, should be registered verifying authenticity of purebred status.
The AKC and Canadian Kennel Club require puppies sold for pet to also hve their registration certificates to the new owner in a reasonably timely manner. Some breeders will require verification of spay/neuter certificate before the registration certificate will be processed and ownership transferred to the new owners name.
As the buyer, you get a very nice pet puppy, health guarantees that hopefully will be honoured (check out your breeder regardless), your registrations for the pup in your name in a timely manner, and you should expect any advice, help etc you need for your new member of your family. |
Excellent post Lorraine. I am still waiting for my "all champion" litter. Just because a planned breeding looks good on paper (ie pedigrees), they don't always turn out that way. I am sure you agree that we are lucky to have wonderful pet homes for those that, for whatever reason, do not make the show ring. I know Roberta Rothenbach has said when she comes back in her 2nd life, she wants to be someones pampered pet. Works for me.
