Absolutely correct, that is all those Dna tests do verify that the parents are who the papers say they are - NOW. Not generations back as the technology wasn't there.
Now if the parentage of a pup is in question, DNA samples of sire, dam and progeny can be submitted but all it will tell you is that those are the parents or if there was something amiss, that one or both likely is not the parent(s).
In very recent years, a few have been caught and registrations cancelled as a result, not per se because it was actually a mix although in some cases that could be the case, but cancelled the registration because the parents on the registration for the progeny were found to be unlikely the parents.
