It will take lots of paperwork, but I think you can register her. And you're right, a legitimate breeder would not white out the information.
Contact the original breeder and have her contact AKC to find out what she can do to make it right for you. She is ultimately responsible for that baby, and to you, she chose to breed.
I have been reading the posts, and from my gut feeling if it matters..
To the original breeder... anyone wanting 3 puppies from the same litter is probably brokering. I have had someone wanting 2 puppies at the same time, one for themselves, and one for a family member and I get suspicious and check them out even more carefully, but if someone wanted 3... would be no way! But I think the original breeder had no idea there was anything going on.
Now it does happen and has happened to me several times that I purchase a female for breeding myself and it is not the quality I am looking for, or is too small to breed. I do find a great pet home for them, after contacting the breeder to give them the opportunity to get the pup back, but I am upfront with all information to all concerned, that way you would have had knowledge before even seeing the pup.
Now, the seller on the other hand is a broker... or in the very least, dishonest!! Honest breeders would never white out the breeder's name on the AKC papers, and would never bring out a female to tell you that she was the mom. She could have simply told you on the phone that she had a female available that she purchased that was too small to breed, give you the breeders name, and for goodness sake, not charge you double the amount she paid!! Then you could have had contact with the original breeder and decide for yourself if that is something you still wanted to do.
It is hard out there, a lot of times we have to go with gut feeling on both sides.. breeding and buying. We have to somewhat trust what people are telling us, and check them out the best we can, breeders and new owners. I personally am very happy that your baby has you!!
