Now if they did discuss this, then there is an oral contract that, although hard to prove, should be lived up to. But if full or limited was never discussed, then I would think giving limited is the way to go. Full registration should be thought of as an extra, not the norm.

I would not expect full registration on any AKC purchase unless it was clearly stated. This guy should not expect it either. I am not sure how he is getting by with asking for 2 puppies anyway. The breeder I got my female from has discussed stud fees for my male, Ben. She sells her Yorkies for $1500. She boughta female from the same litter Ben was from. So, she is knowledgeable about his background. She said Ben should get $800 for stud fees. That is the same as she charges for her stud. Even pick of the litter is high for yorkies, because they could have just one. So, a fee is the way to go, IMO. I would never presume to ask for 2 puppies though. That is robbery -- it is the girl and the girl's owner who has to do all the work of raising the puppies.
