You would need to check with the KC as it's website is a big vague on this point. JG is write with her quote it does suggest that the person putting them on even if not the breeder could remove them again BUT that was the rule when I encountered this situation. Unless someone knows it has changed.
I bought a bitch that had endorsements on which were later removed by the breeder for me to have a litter. I had a litter from her and put the endorsements back on after keeping a lovely bitch from her. I was going to let the mother go to a family freind of mine. The daughter I had kept had to be spayed so I decided to have another litter from the mother and I had to go back to the breeder to get her to send another letter to lift the endorsement again. That was approx 4 years ago.
