Can someone tell me why?? I came across a pup that I was interested in that was advertised as AKC. When questioning about the pup the seller tells me that her parents are AKC registered and she spent a fortune on them but she will not let the puppies go with any kind of registration at all. No limited AKC. I understand not letting them go with full AKC rights, but why wouldn't they register the pups and let them go with limited registration? She said she could show me the parents papers but wouldn't be registering the litter. This sets off a red flag to me but I wonder if maybe I'm just missing something that someone could fill me in on. Thanks |
Couple of guesses....she, herself, doesn't have full registration but bred her dogs any way. OR...she simply doesn't want to spend the money. |
That's what I was thinking... and still charging and arm and a leg for the pup. :cool: |
It would be nice if they explained-- I'm into full disclosure with my customers and when I don't register a litter I tell them exactly why. Times I've done it have been when there were multiple sires and the litter produced no show prospects, therefore the expense and trouble of DNA testing to sort out paternity would be wasteful. Most people are happy to take an unregistered puppy for a reduced price, all other considerations checking out OK--references, vet checks, etc. |
Thanks. I can understand why you wouldn't register a litter in that case. Would you still advertise them as AKC pups? She got very defensive when I asked if they would come with limited registration or not. |

So what would a good price be for this 6 month old puppy with "champion bloodlines" and no papers? It's a little girl about 3.5 lbs right now. |

"Champion blood lines" doesn't mean squat if you don't have the papers to prove it. Of course, papers themselves don't mean squat unless you are planning on breeding or showing. JMO, but if she's using the "cost" of registering them as her reason for not doing it, then she's hiding something from you. (See any of the possible reasons that were listed above). The cost to register a litter is $25.00 plus $2.00 for puppy. Hardly cost prohibitive. Fee Schedule What she is selling you is a pet quality yorkie, no matter what the lineage she claims it has. For all you know, the pups could have been sired by the local Lothario. I'd walk away and look for another (reputable) breeder if she is trying to charge an arm and a leg for it. |

over here, the main reason for not registering a litter seems to be because the dam is being overbred... every season until she stops going into heat. we have a big puppy farm problem here, shelters/rescues and my own vet has seen Far too many older (6-7+) toy breed dogs that people have bought from breeders (or have been abandoned) and are on the brink of death from overbreeding- thats the reason 'both parents kc reg, puppies not' sends up a red flag to me... as well as all reasons already given, keep this in mind if you wish to proceed, but you could be taking on a lot of medical costs if the breeder isnt being honest. |
She can not advertize the pups as AKC unless she applies for registration..just because the parents have AKC regs means nothing regarding the pups...registering the litter and making them eligable for registration makes them AKC... AND unfortunately AKC has no restrictions on how many litter a dam may produce and in what time frame..she may be bred every heat and AKC will still accept...shameful. |
I would not buy the puppy. if she is decietful about one thing, she will be deceitful about other things. You shop for a breeder first and then shop for the puppy. Research for a good breeder. There are lots of them out there all over the country, witthin driving distance of everyone. |
Question here..could it also be that she has only AKC limited registration on her dogs & then bred them anyway? Therefore the pups can not be registered AKC? |

i still cant believe that Every litter can be registered! does there seem to be any thought into changing that where akc is concerned? because even though we already have a number limit in place, they are pushing for council licensed breeders to all comply with it and for the rules to be even more strict and beneficial to the dogs themselves... |
