Spidey senses are tingling here too. It is absolutely ILLEGAL to sell as purebred an unregistered dog. HUGE red flag going up here. And, you are correct, it is is not allowed to charge more for the registration. Note this means CKC registration. There are many other registries but for a purebred dog in Cananda it's got to be CKC.

If neither parent has papers registered to their owner then they are NOT purebred, legally, end of story. That would mean you could not enter the puppy in any CKC event. If you don't want to do such things you do not need the papers to show or compete but you DO NEED to see the parents' papers to know the puppy has been given the best chance possible for a long and healthy life by dint of the parents being screened, (CERF"D) against whatever Beagles are prone to.

Is chocolate a Beagle colour? Approved in the standard? This is something YOU should know if you are doing your research. Good for you, it does sound like you are asking good questions but there are many more to ask.

You should run as fast as you can away from this breeder. If you want to rescue a puppy produced by a BYB by all means, do so, you would have full support of anyone here, But NOT if you pay the breeder, ONLY if you obtain the puppy from a rescue or shelter.

Please note that simply being registered with the CKC in and of itself is no guarantee you are dealing with a reputable breeder. But it is a start, and this very basic first step, by your account, is already missing.
