 Dna
When AKC comes to inspect they check stud DNA and any litters to see if it matches. I do not see how an AKC breeder could pass one stud off as another or fake a micro-chip...I was inspected 3 times and the inspector would ask to see each dog, then they would compare the micro-chip in each dog/bitch to their records..and take DNA swabs. Only the last inspector did that, as the first two happened before chips and DNA...but then I had tatoo's..
If I had a litter they took swabs of them also...each dog was picked up and looked at, they looked at the kennel area and asked where in the house I kept my record books..all was recorded. I have talked to other breeders in our club and they said about the same thing..but some inspectors are more lax about health and well being...but they are suppose to report any abuse or neglect to local animal control...this is why you rarely see AKC in pet shops now..commerical breeders do not want AKC in their kennels...
Of course, the buyer would have to make a complaint to AKC if they suspected a problem...didn't we have a thread a few months back about someone whose stud DNA did not matchlitters and all the AKC's were pulled for several years back..buyers are notified by AKC also..a royal mess.. |
