scared about fales paper work - Page 1

Hi, I had a litter of pups and I want to know what is the best way to insure that nobody tries to falsify their paper work. I am not going to give all the details but I have heard some disturbing things and I want to be sure that the paper work can not be falsified!!! please help. Jesssica

Once paperwork has been recorded with and issued by your kennel club the original details on a dog can always be verified with that club. If a person would falsify existing papers they would be committing fraud. Not your problem as a breeder. Since you are in an FCI country your pups will have to be tattooed. So the tattoo and the papers can always be matched up. If you are that worried, also have them microchipped (ISO certified chip) and the chip info forwarded to the club. The info in the chip cannot be changed, the chip can only be removed surgically, leaving scars and I would not know of a single vet who would do this. If someone really wants to mess with something they will, nothing you can do about it. That should not affect the original records issued on a dog. Keep copies. That is all you can do. And need to do. The rest if not your responsibility nor your concern.

DNA, if you DNA registered/verified your brood bitch and the stud dog also has his DNA registered/verified, along with ear tattoos and microchips for your puppies. Kind of hard for a person to "fake" it. By DNA of parents, Tattoos and microchips of the puppies, you take away the unknown variable and make everything on a particular puppy or dog, plain and simple, black and white on paper to everyone. If someone then tries to misrepresent, the odds of getting caught are dramatically increased. Also if misrepresented, the chance of proving it goes up incredibly too. Also the parents to said puppies should have ear tattoos and microchips if you are in a FCI Country or not. Along with have DNA registered/verified for proof of parentage on any offspring. Martin
