While I really don't believe in ultra-young neutering and spaying, some breeders are doing it before they leave them. The reason for this is that many people are not abiding the contract rules and breeding them anyway. While the offspring can’t be registered with reputable registries like the AKC, they can register them with the vanity registries and pet owners need to realize that this is the same thing as buying stolen merchandise; these breeders did not have permission to produce offspring. Do not buy from breeders who aren't producing AKC registered pups and always register your pups with the AKC even though it's limited registration as this ensures that the pups are truly eligible and keeps the breeders honest. |
