Why are pet companions sold with limited AKC papers?
Most our of puppies are sold on limited papers. Not every dog should be bred, nor every owner should be a breeder. Hip & health clearances are important as well as temperament tests for the potential breeding prospects. You also need to have a basic understanding of the dog’s pedigree and other lines to use or stay away from altogether. I am by no means the know-all-end-all in the dog world, but have worked hard to build a program with stable, gorgeous, healthy, driven, and intelligent dogs. If I allowed all of my puppies to be bred, I would be doing each puppy, as well as my program a disservice. Most back-yard breeders sell all of their puppies with full breeding rights, as they don’t care what happens after the money is exchanged. I care a great deal about what happens to my dogs.
