Did your girlfriend register the dog for a dog licence? or the actual registration for the CKC or something? Does the dog have a microchip that is listed in your name, and is there any vet records that have only your name on the dog or are they in both your names? Also, did the breeder give you a health warranty that was filled out with your name on it?

I would let things settle a little, don't panic just yet. I've had a few friends go through similar things and usually the girl calms down after a few days and becomes more reasonable. I can guarantee you that threatening and involving lawyers will tick her off and make things much worse. In the end she's probably got just as much right to ownership as you do, even if you paid she could say it was a gift which will match the registration.

Relax and let her calm down, she'll come to her senses and eventually do the right thing, I would bet on it. I'm sure she was once a nice person, she will be again, girls just get crazy sometimes, eventually you'll get use to this

^+1... Jumping the gun will just make things worse.

I have to agree with what others have said about being common law... if you are common law then you're pretty much hooped. If not, there is much you can do... starting with a receipt for 1800.00 paid for the dog (which you should have received, with CKC papers if the dog is purebred).

Just a note also, if you didn't get CKC papers from the breeder, or the breeder asks you to pay for the CKC registration, this is wrong... the breeder can NOT charge you for the papers if they are claiming that the dog is purebred and they are a registered member of the CKC. They must present the papers to you when you pay for the animal.

The dog has not been tattooed or chipped while i was in the picture, im not sure if when she registered him with the city for a licence, do they tattoo him there??

All vet statements i paid for with cash, so no real paper trail there.

And as for all the paperwork from the breeder to us, well im pretty sure she is hiding that quite well, if its even around anymore. But it probably has both our names on it, silly mistake. lol

Common law starts after 6 months of living together.

The best thing you can do it nothing. One thing I've know is that women always win, despite who is paying the bills women always seem to have more rights in these kinds of matters. If you go legal you will loose your dog, your only hope is that she turns around and does the right thing on her own but try and make her and you'll loose.
