Heya @Roux & Michelle!
Many thanks! I believe it was a Leica, but I am uncertain of the model or settings used as it wasn’t taken by me personally.
Cheers!

@rachael Did you sign a contract with your male's breeder? Technically at the time of purchase, you should have signed 2 copies of the contract and/or a separate document explaining the endorsement. The KC would require that information in order to look into your situation.

Cheers, @eeeefarm!

@rachael Well, if your breeder didn't follow the proper protocol of giving you a copy of the signed agreement and document explaining the endorsement stipulation at the time of purchase, then technically you could challenge it with the KC. You certainly could make your case with them. Whilst the thought of any KC lifting breeder endorsements makes me slightly uneasy, I do hear & understand your fear that these puppies wouldn't have that safety net of registration. Have you mentioned having already medically screened your male basenji to his breeder? Perhaps that could be helpful in persuading him to lift the endorsement. I would certainly reach out in a follow up with the breeder to try and resolve the unfortunate situation. This "mismate" is a misstep, and I would hope the puppies wouldn’t in any way suffer because of it. I agree with @elbrant Post the coming details here. I'm glad to know you won't post them on the free placement sites. Those can be terribly dodgy. Please keep the community here abreast of your situation as potential puppy parents will see this post, and you could help a future someone out who might have this exact issue.
I hope I've been a bit of help.

Many thanks, @Kembe!

@rachael Congratulations! Happy to know all is going well. What a beautiful early christmas gift. x
