How much were you charged for this baby initially? Was this baby sold to you as a breeder or potential show dog? What kind of an explanation has your breeder offered for this mistaken identity? Of all the babies that I have sold, less than 50% have registered their pup. I really do not know how I would handle this.....if the pup was sold as a breeder, yes, you should receive money back. If the pup was deliberately sold under false pretenses, a partial refund could ethically be expected. This was the breeders first litter, and this issue goes back to the great grandfather, which means THEY were sold a breeder with an issue with registration. I am not sure if or why they did not receive a letter from the AKC when they registered THAT puppy......if they chose to go ahead and breed a dog that they knew offspring would not be able to be duly registered with AKC, and did NOT make that clear to you when you bought your baby, they knowingly sold a pup with a registration issue, and if that baby was sold to you as a breeder, I would think you should expect some of a refund. If this breeder sells puppies at one price for registered puppies, and then a discounted price if you elect to buy the baby without the registration papers, you should expect a refund of part of your money. If your baby was sold as a pet companion, and not as a breeder or a potential show prospect, depending on the size of the litter, it probably cost the breeder less than $100.00 to register that litter, and they still put the same amount of effort, time. and expenses to get your baby whelped and nurtured up to age 12 to 14 weeks old.....Is your puppy healthy? Did your baby come to you fully vaccinated, except rabies shot? Lots of questions......were you intentionally sold a "pig in a poke" or was your breeder as surprised with this "glitch" as you were? Perhaps the AKC would verify if the breeder knowingly sold the puppy with a questionable registration dating back to great grand-father.....had the breeder ever been notified by AKC about the questions about registration of the questionable parent of your puppy?
