You know its ok to eat the food but you still aren't so sure, this isn't a good example because I wouldn't be able to stop eating chocolate no matter what but it was the only thing I could think of right now.

On the other hand though really since I'm not breeding or showing its not important that I have papers so really as long as I felt right about the breeder and the pup seemed healthy I'd be fine even without papers. Even if they were registered and I didn't feel good about the breeders I'd move on. I guess its really tough because I do care but at the same time I don't.

I couldn't care less, i'm not currentley interested in showing or breeding, so it isn't an issue. Charlie's dad is registered, but his mom wasn't.

I don't really give a dang either.
Fred is APRI registered.
AKC, CKC, APRI. Whatever!
He's still the love of my life!

Both of my dogs are AKC registered but as a pet owner with no intentions of showing or breeding it really doesn't have that much importance.

As a breeder , all my Yorkies and their puppies are registered . If peoples ask me for an unregistered dog , I tell them to look somewhere else .

Me too. We have papers for both my babies ... just never felt the need to send them in.

Our first two yorkies had papers. We just got a male and the breeder said she would not sell them as registered puppies because she wasn't sure which one of her dogs got her female pregnate. This impressed me first of all that she just didn't choose one of her males and register him as the sire. She showed me the two dogs that the father may have been. also in return for not having papers I got my lil guy for half the price of one with papers. I was just so happy to find a puppy it didn't matter and with the money I saved I can have him fixed and not hurt the budget too much.
Papers would only be important if you were to breed or show them... I just want to love my dogs....THATS ALL....

Papers are of little importance to me. In all the years I have
owned pets I can't say I ever loved one with papers more than
one without papers. I don't show, I certainly don't breed so
my furkids are all spayed and neutered. When I had my human
kids they didn't come with any sort of promise to how they
would look or turn out so my expectations in regard to my furkids
is pretty much the same.
