because he was 2 years old, not for any other reason, they say not and said we could pay full price if wanted his papers.
I said I was told we'd get them and be able to transfer them, yada yada yada. We were getting nowhere, and ultimately we were given the choice of having the papers, but losing the 14 day trial return from the contract, or vice versa. Since we felt we 'needed' the possible return period as we needed to make sure our cats would be ok with him, we decided to leave the KC registration. Our other reasoning being that since we only wanted a pet, not to enter him into KC shows, then it probably ultimately didn't matter to us. I think they were worried we'd want to breed from him or something, but there were restrictions on that on his papers anyway, so we didn't see what difference that made.
I asked to see them and check the chip ID to make sure they were at least genuine. But it did get my back up.
Shame it all got so complicated and that they didn't give you the papers anyway, but I guess if you never want to show anyway not much is lost.
Good luck sorting out the chip - I am going to give the petlog people a ring in the next couple of days and see what they say - otherwise will contact the breeder. I am sure you could take a similar route and you'll get it sorted soon
