roses2905 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 One the other side of the coin, it doesnt specify what the papers are. I believe some pet shops advertise like that however the papers are actually vaccination certificates, not pedigree papers. We assume thats what they mean, but it may not be.

gillbear Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Sounds to me like they mean that the pup comes with copies of the parents papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice ethical breeder Does it mean the parents' papers come with the puppies? as an aside, the RSPCA and other rescue groups want to put (and some already are) their puppies/dogs in pet shops for exposure so I guess what's the difference?

Kayann Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I often wonder about what Papers mean to a pet purchaser. As an ex registered cat breeder, there are obliously software products that allow you to easily print off Pedigree papers for a cat litter. So you can easily product pedigree papers for a liter of kittens. Can a pet store not do this as well from parents papers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsfevr Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I believe you will find that if the pet shop is PIAA registered breeders can sell through them. Not sure of the exact facts but pretty sure there is an avenue & then they negotiate papers after wards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Flying Furball Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Sounds to me like they mean that the pup comes with copies of the parents papers. Yes it does sounds like that. I'm not sure about that. When I was looking at papillon pups at PP here in NSW they wouldn't reveal the source of the pups, assuring me that they came from breeders that they had checked. They want to protect their sources so customers don't go straight to the breeder. If you get to see the parents papers you would know where they come from...which I think could be against the chain's policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked at a PP 10 years ago and a registered breeder was going away and couldn't find homes for two of her puppies and asked us to sell them. She showed us copies of the parents papers and photos. We never got/gave out copies of the parents papers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casowner Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Back when we sold puppies years ago one of the last puppies we sold was from a registered breeder that couldn't sell it, it was an uncommon breed. One of the courier drivers that comes to us is a Registered Breeder of a Bull Breed and makes comments such as "Pity you don't sell pups, we could help each other out". I have seen Registered Breeders take accidental litters or pups that had issues before to a shelter . I would say it certainly isn't common, but it would happen. Then again I know of someone that buys puppies on main register and breeds pups for the pet shop market, she also crosses them so it would be easy just to take copies of the parents papers and show clients, the pups may not be registered but the parents were.

Sandra777 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Registered breeders can be puppy farms too so the fact that some pups have come from a registered breeder doesn't mean much of anything really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
