You're entitled to a refund. You're not entitled to a partial refund and to keep the dog unfortunately. You need to decide if you're so outraged you're going to make sure you get your money back or if it's more important to keep your puppy and move on. 

Nothing to decide on that score, as stated in my original post there is no way the dog is going anywhere. I wasn’t sure how the law worked though in terms of the false advertising and being mid-sold something. If you’re saying its clear in terms of being cut and dried it would be a case of retuning the dog for a full refund that’s what I came on here to find out. I wasn’t sure if there’s be any middle ground in terms of partial refund to bring the price more into line with what non kc registered puppies go for.

Your other half should have looked at the paperwork before parting with the money if that's what's important to you. 

Lol, yep! Tell me something I don’t know 😄

Just curious if the puppy you were bought as a gift is the same breed as the litter of pups you 'had at the same time'.

Why is that relevant please?

Presumably because you may have obtained the new puppy with the intention of breeding it with one of your own litter.  Perhaps that explains why the provenance of the puppy is so important.

Even if they did, that doesn’t make any odds to the consumer rights question that they are asking.

Oh, I agree.  I was just speculating on why OP was asked the question.

Edited to add: Or does it?  If OP was buying the new puppy with the intention to breed it for profit, would that make it a business transaction rather than a consumer one?

I didn't say it was relevant.
I said I was just curious...
It just seems odd to me to have a litter of pups and someone buying a surprise gift of another pup.

There technically is, a right to a price reduction. However, if the trader doesn't agree with your reduced price (or you don't agree with theirs) you're then back to deciding whether you want to take court action with no guarantee of your desired outcome.

Well, if they were purchasing with the intent to breed and sell the litter, it would. As they wouldn't be a consumer but a trader (as Ducky said)

But I also suspect it would make a difference to people's attitudes.

I still don’t see it has a bearing on my question of being mid-sold a puppy but no, two entirely very different breeds

If those people are still advertising pups as 'KC registered' when they are not, they need reporting to the Kennel Club and the police as they are committing fraud.

The last of your pup's litter mates must be getting quite old now, since you've had yours for over two months already yet they are still being advertised. It'd be interesting to know what the hold up is with the sellers. And why the not quite as young as they were pups are still being advertised as KC registered when that's not even a possibility, given what you've said about the parents.

Definitely plenty to report here - and it won't cost you any court fees either.
