Why on earth are they that "tight" on all these situations with contracts and such..?
I've had various emails from online friends telling me the situation in Australia is that many breeders (even known or popular ones) would provide false documents (sold dog carrying other blood rather than the one mentioned in the pedigree). Irony is, they likely bred to GOOD dogs but the said dogs had/have no documents. When you have to choose between a papered dog that is not that great and a non-papered dog who is great both as an individual and producer, what do you do, especially when the breed ain't doing great..? I am not standing for these things, I am just wondering myself about this.
While the document aspect (genes) is ever so important, I can't help but be on same track with one who ultimately decides to stick with a good dog, regardless of the pedigree situation. IF ONLY you could have a pedigree issued for Casso, that would be awesome...
