I'm curious about purebred registries only because we just adopted a "purebred" rottweiler dog. He does have papers but I haven't seen them yet. The former owner is mailing them. I'm curious now about the cat registries because I am about 99.999% certain that this rottweiler is mixed with something. He is the funkiest looking rottie I've ever seen. So how did he get purebred papers ?
That leads to my question for the cat breeders here. When you "register" a litter is the registry just taking your word for it on who the parents are ? Do you have to provide any proof of parentage ? Obviously the better breeders would be above reproach when it comes to the lineage but as we all know there are thousands of BYB's out there churning out puppies and kittens by the millions.
This is just a curiousity thing for me. I love my mutts and moggies ... and my "purebred"
I'll get some pictures up here soon of my menagerie !
