He gave me a green book with all the forms so I have to go and fill out and when I breed I have to write in on the forms and not just my calander. No big deal. I have a question for him about DNA. I bought a in 2003 pup and used him as a stud later and had 3 litters that yr so I DNA'd him. I got the DNA papers back and all seemed ok with no problems. A few yrs later I got a report that my studs sire was wrong. Now all my sire's pups AKC papers were going to be on hold and could be pulled if they didn't get the right info and DNA on the other possible sire to my pup I bought. IT WAS A MESS and I had buyer calling me to ask what was going on. I had sold 1 male to be used as a stud and they had sold pups. I asked AKC why they didn't check my pups DNA against his sires DNA ( on record) to see if there was a problem BEFORE they sent my mine and I bred him thinking everything was ok. Seems pretty stupid to even do DNA unless they are going to check it to make sure it's correct. He told me they are supposed to do that at AKC. When it happened, AKC told me that they don't do that and if I wanted it checked it would be a extra charge  I asked if there was anything in writing or on their website about this issue and he told me no. Does anyone know if they do check it before a incorrect DNA Cert. is sent out? |
Do you know if your males sire had his DNA on file already when your male was DNA'ed? With AKC you do not have to submit DNA on a sire unless he sires 3 litters in one year or 5 litters life time. Could it be possible that your dogs sire just was not DNA tested until much latter? I know this is frustrating to you because the breeder of your dog was careless. This does go to show that what AKC is doing is working, as frustrating as it may seem. I can only image how overwhelmed AKC must be and it is possible with all the dogs that they deal with that they just do ransom comparison's of DNA or they might just be years behind. I hope you get your problem resolved.
