AKC Papers.... it depends on if you think they are important.
Healthwise... our first Yorkie came from a terrible breeder but still AKC until the breeder was kicked out. Poor little thing only lived 3 years due to health problems. Heartbreaking. Piccolo came with AKC papers from a great breeder. She is now 12. We bought her as a pet only.
If you were told you were getting papers and did not you can complain. Pet only has nothing to do with AKC as far as I know. Sounds like maybe there could be a dog that is not AKC in the lines of the pup you want. |
