People sellings dog?

There is no way that you know how a dog is bred just because some guy said it was. He might tell you it is out of Bozo and Betsy but how does he know that for a fact.

I cannot say about now but used to all the money was in breeding hot shot bird dog studs. In the 80s lots of them had 600 dollar stud fees and no telling what it is now.

Not too long ago I ran into a guy that I used to train, judge, and run dogs with. We got to catching up on everybody. Here is what he told me. Seems that now they have the ability to DNA the top dogs. If you are caught trying to register a bogus dog the penalty is very severe. Seems some of the really big name guys got caught peddling dogs that were not as advertised. According to him some of the guys were facing fraud charges because the evidence was undisputable that they were peddling a dog that was not as advertised.

We always suspected that if you shipped off a female and had it bred it wound up not being bred to the dog you paid to have it bred to at times. Unless I know the guy personally I would never have a bitch sent off and bred to a big name dog. I would drive there and see it bred for myself. And unless you know the hog shot dog how do you know it is actually the dog the guy says it is.

I would breed to a dog that I have hunted or seen hunt above all else. The only other possible thing I might do is buy a pup off of someone I know. Other than that it ain't gonna happen unless someone I know vouches for them.
