Is there a way to check if parents are papered? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

When I got my pups they said they would get me the papers too but never did. Just wondering if there's a way to find out or not.

Have you tried calling the breeder? If there AKC you can contact them I'm sure.

What does the breeder say is the problem why you have not received papers? Did you sign a contract? The litter registration should be on the contract. You can contact the club they are registered with, and give them the puppys litter registration number and see if the parents were registered, and did in fact have a litter that was registered with the number on your contract. Unreputable breeders can swap papers, there are many many way they lie about the registration of a litter of pups....it is when they get a complaint and a question about a puppy being actually registered, they will insist on DNA testing of parents and puppies to see if it matches....

Unfortunately, it was someone I knew from years back that happened to have had a litter just recently, and I took them at their word on it, thinking I could always get that info later. Not knowing how the whole process was actually supposed to go, I just paid them and happily took my baby home. Then I went back a few weeks later for her sister. I saw all the puppies, the mom and dad, and everything seemed good until their business fell apart and he got arrested and his wife fell of the map and then it dawned on me that I may never actually get any of that if it ever even existed. Both parents are full blooded beautiful silver/tan silkies. I guess that's all that mattered to me then. I'll live without papers regardless, it just would have been nice to have them. But that's my luck.
Oh so yeah, there was no contract whatsoever. I wasn't even aware there should be one.

The disdain and repulsion I have for people that pull what that person pulled on you, will not make anything any better for you. The good thing is, you dont really care about the papers! Next time you buy a puppy, you will know how unscrupulous scam artists prey on vulnerable people! Good luck to you and your baby!

Well unless you planned on breeding them or showing them it shouldn't be a problem.
