Hi again,
WOW thanks for all of the great advice, you have provided me alot of food for thought.
I have no plans to be a breeder or enter the dog into comps of any sort, I just wanted to add a purebred Cocker Spaniel pup to my family. My 2 main concerns are what rights would I have to the pup when I am not the registered owner, can the breeder just take ownership? and the implications of not having the dog desexed for example the marking of territory continuously while out walking.
Once again thanks for your input.
Soph.
