Me again - Not sure I'm wrong - I may not have worded my answer well. The papers I received from the breeder a few weeks after I got my puppy did have the parents names, the #'s, and all the information I needed to register him.
I received similar papers from the breeder for the last two dogs I purchased. One was my Bichon - I did register him. And, now my Yorkie. I decided not to register my Yorkie. I know he is a purebred, but he is only a pet and will be neutered within the next week or two. I see no reason to register him - as he will be neutered and will not be shown or bred. Nevertheless, I know that he is a purebred and could be registered -- but he is only a wonderful, enjoyable little pet to me.
Interestingly - I did register my 4-year-old Bichon - neutered him - and then put the papers in a drawer and haven't looked at them for four years --- And, I'm sure there is no reason I will ever need these papers. This is why I decided not to spend the money to register my Yorkie.
Both my dogs are wonderful loving pets. I have never had any desire to show or breed either one of them.
