I would say this. Alot of the true game breed breeders new how there dogs were breed but would not paper them so there was no paper trail following them to the games.

So yes they would hand write you a pedigree so u would now. I know for a fact that most papered dogs are not correct and people will blow smoke with those papers. The only way to stop it is DNA test . If you have an eye for a game breed pit you know it when you see it.
