If the parents of the puppies don't have registration papers through the Canadian Kennel Club or the AKC - then there is no way they could possibly offer you such papers for your puppy. Neither of these registries would register a litter from a parent/parents that aren't already registered with a reputable registry. The Continental Kennel Club is a different story and will register anything without any checks for legitimacy so long as you pay the fee.
Registration papers guarantee nothing beyond the fact that your puppy is a purebred. They offer no guarantee of good health or even good breeding - just that the puppy is a purebred. That is why these papers should only be your FIRST step in searching for a breeder.
The issues that I saw in doing a quick search on the breed are heart issues and eye issues. Personally, I would be very careful picking a breeder and a puppy. Heart issues can be difficult to detect by a regular vet but can be fatal.
