It depends on the sequence of events, it depends on how you came to find this breeder and what, if anything, the breeder's website says about breeding rights. There regulations set out the requirements for licensing animal shelters, pet dealers, kennels, and stable operators.Buyer acknowledges that there is NO guarantee on puppy's final coat, weight, color, texture or amount of shedding. This is done to keep dogs out of shelters. I was promised legit paperwork, a warranty for the puppy. When you bought your pup on limited registration, you signed a contract with the breeder, agreeing not to breed her. Co ownership isn't super uncommon especially if the breeder already has a male or to many dogs to keep another one to see how it turns out. Contracts are a parting-shot opportunity to share their philosophy, advice, and expectations about the dog they are entrusting to you.
