Are you planning to get a pedigree puppy? Then, make sure you are getting one from a reputable breeder who comes highly recommended and that you have proper documents that specify the breed registration. The breed registration paper is an important document that provides proof of your puppy’s pedigree, which is important to reinforce the seller’s claim.

If the breeder or seller is unable to hand over the breed registration paper of the puppy at the time of sale or payment because it hasn’t arrived yet, it is a good idea to wait for this important document to arrive before handing over the payment. The transaction is not complete if the document is not handed to the new owner. In case the owner says that the papers are still with the breed’s Kennel Club or breed registry, you can always call their office to confirm the information.

For additional information ask your Lansing, MI veterinarian regarding important pet issues.
