Breeders do all sorts of things...I have not registered a few litters if they were going to family or close friends as pets...or sometimes if there are just tinies or just one and I keeping for as small pet.. About 50 % of my puppy buyers did not want papers, even though the price was the same...they figured it was going to be spayed/neutered why give AKC the money?

I used to send back the unused puppy litter applications once a year to AKC..and I always send back the papers of old ones that died and the papers for retired adults placed with no papers...WHY, because AKC inspected my records once and asked about a bunch of registrations I had in a file...I told them it was for the "Placed without papers and retired"..I was informed that if a dog is registered and the papers are not returned, I am still considered the legal owner in their eyes..meaning I had to keep a record of dogs I no longer owned..AKc is not too fond of breeders NOT giving papers..it cuts into their revenue..they want the new owner to pay the fee to register in their name...spay/neutered pet or not..

Hard to say..but I would get it sorted out before I bought the puppy if I wanted papers 100%.
