Reasons why people don't give papers:
The breeder did not receive papers when they got there dog.
The breeder has papers but they might be marked limited on one or both parents and the breeder bred them anyway but can't register the litter.
The breeder has papers but does not want to take the time or spend the money to register the litter.
The breeder has AKC papers but does not want to give any papers to the buyers in fear that the puppy owner would breed them anyway and register them with another registry. If someone has limited AKC papers they can still register their pups with a less reputable registry like CKC, APR or ACA.
I would ask the breeder why they are not offering papers.
