The owner said that it would cost more if I wanted to have the beagle puppy with papers (This is definitely illegal, because I did some research about it; you cannot charge more for papers in Canada.) However I don't think this applies to me, because I am not entering the puppy into shows or displays, it is used as a house pet and nothing else. Am I safe here or am I completely missing something?
Does anyone know where and how to get shots for a Beagle Puppy and how much would it cost? Both mom and dad were in great condition and as well as the other two Chocolate colored Beagles, but the one that I picked was Black and Tan colored.

Re. the bold, just to make sure you are aware, yes this does still apply to you.
One, what this so called "breeder" is proposing is illegal.
Two, a breeder is required by law to provide the puppy registration to you within six months of you taking possession of the puppy. It's up to you what you do with it.
Another note, the Beagle puppy is to be a house pet? Beagles are bred to work hard all day hunting. They need LOTS of exercise. Most cannot be trusted off leash as they take off following their noses. I meet hunters with a brace of beagles in a 1,000 acre property near me. These Beagles are off leash because they are hunting rabbits. These dogs work.
