This is NOT true. I know from experience. Carter's breeder gave me papers on him -- the original pre-printed registration form. I thought all was well in the world until I sent them in.
After his breeder registered the litter, something typically done soon after they are born, they notified the breeder of a problem on a previous litter after DNA testing was done. Evidently there was a multiple sire breeding that she was unaware of.
Even though I had my registration papers in hand (pre-printed by their office), the registration was not processed because she became "under investigation" after the litter was registered but before I actually purchased the pup.
Think about it . . . if you don't purchase your pup until he/she is 12 to 16 weeks old, there is too much time that passes between litter registration and you actually submitting your paperwork for registration.
I didn't purchase Carter until he was almost 6 months old.
Learn from my mistake . . . call AKC!
