OK. I need to decide whether to take a chance if the registration certificate isn't available. I guess as I'm not intending to use the dog for stud, it doesn't really matter, its just that I'm paying for the dog as a pedigree and don't want to be ripped off.

He is gorgeous and looks really healthy, although I have booked an appointment with my vet to check him over and have agreed with the breeder that she will take him back if the vet picks anything up. I don't want to disappoint my daughter so think I'll have to take a chance. I'll report back as to what happens!

Thanks for your help
