DNA testing??

Hey, got a question...We just got a new puppy about 4 weeks ago, and we went to look at her before doing a lot of research on breeders. I think we were excited to find someone with an available puppy somewhat close to home. Anyway, this breeder said she hadn't registered the litter yet because she was waiting on a DNA test on the father because, according to AKC guidelines, a male that sires 8 litters needs to have this DNA test. I've never heard of this, but I'm new to registered pets. Well, here we are 4 weeks later, and no word from the breeder and no reply to my inquiries. Just wondering if anyone out there knows if this DNA test is a legit procedure, etc.?

Here is what AKC states.

Effective for litters whelped on or after July 1, 2000, AKC DNA Profiling is required if a stud dog is classified as a Frequently Used Sire, meaning that he has produced seven or more litters in his lifetime or more than three litters in a calendar year.

So yes she would have to do the DNA, when that is back, then she would have to register the litter, then send you the Papers and you in turn will have to send your puppies reg. in so you will have him in your name.

Interesting. what is the DNA testing for?
I'm sure the breeder will send you the paperwork once the sire is tested. This is a new relatively new thing for the AKC to help regulate
You said in another post that the breeder was a "nasty nasty backyard breeder". Maybe you won't be getting a reply to your inquiries. Or maybe it's just taking awhile.
