| Is the dam of your pup an Import? If so then it is very posible that the hips are certified, but the certification is not recognized by the AKC. That would explain why many of the dogs in the pedigree don't show a certification on an AKC pedigree. That does not mean that the Dam's hips are not certified.
I know that the breeder that you refer to has several import bitches that would fall into that category. |
