Yes this is what I was worried about. I have checked to make sure about
registrations and from what I understand with everything that happened at
this farm things were wonderful until the husband became involved in the
business and then things got a bit dicey. They were the go to people around
here before everything happened. We have said we will pay some money down
and then the rest once we have all the papers in our name and everything is
finalized. They have agreed to that. Now they still were not that cheap but
given the quality they are a great price. Yes they do have a cria and she
owns the damns according to the registry. I just know that some of the
local farms have had a lot to say to people who visit them about this farm
and did not want them to say not to come to me because of where they came
from. Silly isn't it to be worried about something like this. I am not
worried about the health as I have been shown all health and vet records and
this person has been more then helpful and upfront with me. And to think
they are the ones that have the bad reputation.

Thanks for giving me your thoughts it is very helpful
