I also understand what the others are talking about regarding protecting their lines. Let me give an analogy...probably not the best one, but..:

Let's say you have worked all your life and dedicated everything to being one of the best in the business of restoring classic cars. You are know far and wide by your reputation for what you do. Let's say you put years into restoring one particular car and you sell it to someone who promises to maintain the upkeep on this work of art. Then let's say they get drunk, drive the car and total it but still pass it off as being one of your masterpeices. That mangled piece of crap is now being viewed by others as one of your restorations. Everyone who knows Joe Schmo will think, "don't let NatalieNicole restore your car...did you see the one Joe has? Looks like a wrecked piece of garbage."

Now, replace the car with a living, breathing creature...a dog from your years and dedication as a breeder. If Joe breeds one of your dogs to Uncle Bubba's mill dog and you get a mess of a litter. Even years down the road, people are going to look at Bubba's dogs and say, "well, that's what comes out of NatalieNicole's line of dogs..."

see that is where you need to do more research...a pedigree that comes with registration entails all...dating back 3-5 generations...

it will list the kennel name, registration number and so forth...

and when a careless breeder breeds with your dogs...and has full registration...then whom ever buys the puppies from you will see who is in the family tree...get it?

that is what they are protecting.

I hope I don't start another argument here. But, being a show breeder......here I go.....The puppies I don't keep go out on a limited registration and here's why. The woman that trusted me with her dogs has been in the yorkie world showing and breeding for 35+ years.....breeding over a 100 Champions. It took me along while to get one of her dogs......it would be betraying her trust in me to protect those lines she took so many years to perfect if I let them go to anyone......She or I do not want to see her dogs in every Backyard Breeder's pedigree and believe me there are those that would do anything to get her line with 10 generations of Champions in their pedigrees.
