If breeder was the registered owner and the dog had been sent back due to home breakup but then buyer decided they wanted him back?

Not sure,one of my aunts danes is in breeders name on paperwork but she has recipts to say she has brought him.
He went back to breeder for stud duities for a few years, so far as I knwo because she has "proof of purchase" she could have asked for him back at any time and was always his owner.
So I think unless breeder has something to say dog was signed over to her (even if it was returned and not brought back) then origanal owner would still own him.

The KC would class the person on the dogs papers as the owner, you are suppose to change it over when you get the papers.
I got my GSD a few months back and she came with KC papers, and I sent off the new membership form.
I think it cost around £15

That's what I would have assumed too. As soon as I buy my dogs I change the ownership details immediately.
Not sure what would legally happen in the situation above though; I presume the owner giving the dog back to the breeder would then mean that the breeder owns the dog. Same as with rescue centres - if you give your dog to a rescue centre and then change your mind you have to buy the dog back again.

How long was the dog back with the breeder for? What was said to the breeder when the dog was sent back?
No offence but if I was the breeder and someone would come back and ask for the dog back, I would charge them for board etc
