 problem
You should be able to get this worked out if the breeder is so co-operative as you say..and the breeder certainly can be telling the truth about the pups being mixed up by a helper.
A stud client have two litters from my boys some years ago. She took then in a large wicker basket to the vet for tail docking. She put a rolled towel down the center thinking she was safe..got home and all 8 pups were sleeping the middle of the basket together. She was honest and told me what happened. I with held AKC papers from her and the two litters were not allowed to be registered. There was no DNA back then, so there was nothing to do to fix it.
If she had not been honest and told me, I would have given her an application to apply for papers thinking all was well...that is how pedigrees are destroyed and become meaningless...the pedigree is only as honest as the breeder.
For anyone to request DNA from a breeder is a red flag IMO anyway...someone must have gotten wind of problems. JMO |
