if you have done the DNA, then i dont see why you cant just get the papers from the true parents, if they are AKC, that to me sounds the best , i would think the breeder should not have any problem with this , if she is a good breeder.

she would just have to get papers and sign them and then you could reg , the dog.

thats what i would do.

We don't want the breeder to pay for damages. We just want back what we have put into the dog plus the dogs original price. She has said she will give us a full refund and another puppy if we cant fix the DNA problem. AKC is working on it now. But this is not my problem with the DNA. The breeder should have been more careful when breeding the parents. She is trying to resolve this issue but I don't think the amount she has offered is sufficient for what we have into the dog. I feel we should get everything back we have in the dog. This was not our fault. Hopefully when we DNA the dog again it will come out right. Maybe the swab was contaminated or AKC made a mistake. I hope thats the problem. But in the breeders defense she has been very helpful and seems to want to resolve this. Has anyone else ever had this happen to them before?

Personally, I think she's being pretty reasonable. It would be difficult to calculate "everything you have in the dog". You have a well trained dog, most likely, and if you plan to keep her, I wouldn't call it a loss. I'd be happy with a refund + shipping or a new puppy. You may see it differently, but that's my take. At least she's not denying anything and is trying to make it right.

Do any of you remember the case that made national news about the woman who had two sets of DNA? Her own children that she gave birth to cam e back as NOT HERS!!!
Ever since then I have wondered if that can be the case with dogs.
Just a little food for thought

Here is the story. It's very disturbing.

Stacy , I think I also seen that one ! Considering there is probably more dogs on this earth than humans, and they almost always have multible births - would it not make sence that 2 fertilized eggs might become one every once in a while ? Was that show called " I am my own twin ?"
Very good point .

YES! That was the show Whisper. I cried along with the mom.... And the thing is, it might actually be more common than we realize... It is very interesting to say the least.

With so many breeders out there who DONT do anything, she is trying to make amends. We know your mad but the chance of you winning in court is a tough go. You are going to have to proove that she intentionally frauded you. I would definitily want to know who the real parents are. Maybe you got a better dog. AKC should be able to tell you who the right parent is.

Honestly if a buyer wanted me to reimbuse them for all they have put into a dog, I wouldnt do it. I would do exactly what she is offering. If I paid alot for the dog and I didnt have attachments to her, I would give her back with refund money and new dog (papers in hand). If you think the dog has serious potential to compete and be a great dog, Id still take the money and try and work something out with the breeder AND AKC. Before all this I would ABSOLUTELY GET A SECOND OPINION.
