I've heard of breeders that will purchase an AKC bitch just to have the papers. Then registar pups out of another bitch (w/o papers or not as good of papers) under the AKC bitch. Or say that they have two bitches that welp at about the same time they will registar all of the pups as the pups of the one with the better papers, and when you go to look at the puppies, you see the nice looking dog that they want you to see. Or they make have a really nice Akc Bitch with really impressive paper that dies, so they run down to the pet shop or puppy mill or any where else an get a really crappy dog with bad breeding and just substatute her for the AKC dog. No one would ever know the difference unless there was a good reason to DNA test the pups.
A lot of people out there sell there dogs with limited registration; however, that doesn't mean that the new owners won't breed that dog under a different AKC dogs papers.
There are a lot of really crappy people out there just trying to steal your money. I will never purchase a puppy from anyone (again) that doesn't screen who they are selling the puppies to. |
I do NOT doubt that any of this is true! But AKC is doing alot more of DNA testing on litters when they are doing their inspections! So hopefully sooner than later they will get caught!
I had a lady call me awhile back looking for a yorkie.. She went on to tell me that she had went to a breeders home in Michigan to look at a litter of puppies and the breeder told her that sometimes if she has more than one litter she will put the litters together and is not 100% positive that the right AKC papers are leaving with the proper puppy.. I do not understand this! How difficult is it to put ID bands on the puppies to know which mama they belong to? But than again alot of breeders breed only for the money!
