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. |
Another reason is that the breeder could be lying about their dogs being AKC registered and purebred, and they don't want to get caught. I would not buy a
purebred dog from a breeder who did not offer papers because there is no way of knowing whether or not they are lying.
