Thank you all for the wonderful and informative information. I and the breeder are both in nsw so I’ll look into the laws surrounding the “change of ownership” being withheld, I’m not fussed about the pedigree papers being withheld it was the ownership part that I was confused with.
I’ve also already paid the 1k deposit and am getting him in just over 2 weeks!
Again, thank you for all the information, it has helped point me in the right direction on where to look.
