Pedigree Certificate Query

[Rachel-C]

Hi

Just wondered if anyone could offer me any advice as to whether or not I should have any concerns.

Having never owned a pedigree before, when we collected Gracie from the breeder in September we were given a pedigree certificate along with the kitten pack etc.

It wasn't until we collected Monty and were given the pink GCCF transfer slip that we realised that we didn't receive this for Gracie. On getting Gracie's details out to contact the breeder, I've just realised that her pedigree certificate (which is photocopied) has the original breeder's name tippexed out and replaced with the breeder from which we obtained our girl.

Now I'm hoping that this is nothing suspicious and that you can reassure me, but the original breeder's name which was tippexed out is a name which when I input into Google brings up links to previous poor experiences of sick cats being bred.

I do hope I am worrying unnecessarily and I have emailed the breeder and am waiting for a reply, but I wondered if anyone out there might think of a valid reason for this?

Many thanks
Rachel
