I have a hard time deciding which one to provide to my customers. I tend to feel like every purebred animal should have a right to come with a pedigree, but then other breeders say that if they are selling to a pet home (even if the animal is better than pet quality) they never give a pedigree, only a birth certificate. Others will do a birth certificate when they are selling the animal as "pet quality" only.
Some customers really like to have a pedigree so they can see the ancestors and it's kinda neat for them, which I totally understand. But I am concerned that if I sell a purebred animal to a pet owner and give them a pedigree that eventually they will be bred or something. And like any other breeder I want to know if you are buying for brood or show stock so I can make sure that I am confidant about the quality of the animal I am selling for that purpose. I would hate for an animal I deemed "pet quality" and sold as such to be walking around breeding with my name on it..
Just wondering what you all thought.
