Did you sign a contract with her when you purchased Axel? It is very common for breeders to sell pups on spay/neuter conditions. I had to provide proof of neutering to receive Max's AKC papers (which I then had to complete to register with AKC).
To find out if Axel can be registered with AKC, contact AKC to find out if Axel's parents and the litter were registered.
If he were my pup, I would simply be thankful that he is now healthy.
