CKC [Canada] I always register the "litter" right away . Then as you sell them you register them to new owners individually..I usually wait until all are sold and do registration to new owners all at once. I breeder has a certain amount of time to do it I thinks its 6 months. So that's why he would no have the papers right away I always mail mine about a month after puppy has gone to new home . They mail them to the breeder then we mail to new owners..hope this helps |
