Unfortunately, you cannot. Unless there are some genetically impossible colours coming up.bertha said:You can, but it won't stop people breeding to sell without papers, or they use false ones. All KC registrations are taken on trust, the KC hope people will be honest when registering their puppies. I know for a fact that somebody who used to breed near where I live mated father to daughter, son to mother, sisters and brothers. None of the pedigrees were correct, but how can you prove it without dna testing. The breeder in question thankfully has gone out of whippets, his dogs were so muddled up I doubt if prospective owners got the whippet they wanted!
Sad but true, how can we stop it? :- "
However, soon we should be able to do DNA paternity test on all litters. My bitches are all DNA profiled, so it would be very easy to swab my pups, their sire and test. Provided we can trust the company doing the tests.
I can see that soon we will not be able to register pups unless they are microchipped and profiled.
