Some things you might want to know about buying a Scotty

Potential guardians of puppies are often misled by breeders, by leading you to believe that his dog is something special. The pedigree papers is nothing more than a statement made by the breeder of the dog, and is usually written on blanks readily available from pet shops or clubs.

If your dog has purebred champions in his background that are registered with the kennel club, then pedigree papers are worth having, but if the names on the pedigree papers are meaningless, then so is the paper itself. Registration with the kennel club is something you and the breeder should do if necessary, these registration papers are not to be confused with the pedigree papers.

Uk, Sale of goods act 1979, If a pedigree is given with a puppy, it must be signed and correct.
It is an offence to obtain money by false pretence.

USA, "Puppy lemon" Law enacted. Any newly purchased puppy deemed un-saleable for any reason upon veterinary examination,  may be returned to the seller for a full refund.

If you bought your Scotty as a family pet, there is no need for any registration with the kennel clubs, come to think about it, there is no need to have pedigree papers either, it wont make your family pet more adorable than he already is !.

Avoid paying excessive amounts for your pet, purely based on pedigree papers, that show champions 20 years ago, They are meaningless.
