Just to pick your brains a little bit more-
One of the sites I was recently on seriously questions the purity of AKC bred dogs. I'd have to go back a little to find the link. What steps do you guys recommend the registery take to ensure that people aren't being fraudulent with their claims of purity in their lines? Should we in the future force breeders to verify proper parentage and lineage through DNA testing? Should we place limited registration on all puppies until they are proven to be worthy of breeding and force the owners to have both breeding partners pass a suitability test? These things seem to be common sense. Before I bought my rotties, I asked to see the parents and I thought of what the standard described. I looked also at the pedigree and liked the fact that many of the parents were ADRK. It seems that the ADRK has more quality control measures than the AKC. And don't forget the "purebreed" red rottweilers in the local newspaper - don't want to miss out on them!
Let me know what you think!
