Stunning (and brave)
That's why a DNA-linked database for each breed is the way forward
maybe one day.
Compulsory microchipping is a small step forward, although still open to fraud and as with all these things, do people who do it, care, once the pups are born? It's generally the new owner who suffers from being 'sold a pup'.
There are a lot of crap breeders out there who are very plausible and I have had to tell people who have spent five figure sums that their fancy laminated documents aren't actually real
It's why it's always a good idea to seek lots of advice before spending money on a pedigree puppy. A good breeder should be happy for a purchaser/advisor/mentor to review all the relevant paperwork.
