could anyone help, a friend of mine bought a rottie pup (who is now around 15month old ) from a breeder in ipswich he was told the dogs papers would be forwarded to him he is a loverly dog and my friend wishes to show him but cant find the add of the breeder, he got his telephone numbers from the time off BT and has tried phoning him with no joy,
anyone got any ideas how he can get the dogs pedigree
kind regards

Has your friend got any paperwork at all from the breeder? What about a receipt?

no he doesnt have anything and you would think parting with 600 pound you would at leat want a receipt:rolleyes: he has learnt by his mistake i think

Without anything in writing he doesn't stand a chance, I'm afraid. :( If he wants to show he'll have to get another dog, and make sure he gets the registration document at the time. Sorry. :(

ok! thank you for your help
i wasnt sure if the KC could help him with him knowing the DOB cant be that many litters born same day same town
thanks again

It's not just the pedigree he needs, it's the registration documents, which will have been issued by the KC to the breeder when the litter was registered, and which only the breeder can provide.

Can he go back to the breeder's premises and ask what's happened about the papers? The KC will be unlikely to pass on the breeder's current address (if they even know it) because of the Data Protection Act.

he is in the US military  & based in cambs and does not know his way around, he doesn`t have the add now he says he lost it and cant remember where it is as he only went there once

If he got the breeder's telephone number from BT then why can't he get the address as well?  BT have an online Directory Enquiry service on their website, see http://www.thephonebook.bt.com/publisha.content/en/find/residential/residential_numbers.publisha

hi thanks everyone for your advice,
he got the number from a list of calls he made the month he bought him, he had to get from BT as he doesn`t have the guy`s details and it was a mobile number.
ok thanks again jus seems such a shame,
kind regards

To be honest the chances are the dog was never registered.

I would contact the breed club and ask the secretary if they can look up the litters regitered for that period (most secs get the BRS) and also if they know the name of the breeder.
