Numbers matching ?
That is a perfect example of why documentation and pedigree mean everything later. If you can't prove it, it probably didn't happen.
Just look at what a difference paperwork can mean when you are just buying a dog. $50 mutt or $5000, purebred.

I hear you about the cars and papers but when it comes to pedigrees with Dogs you can't say the same.
Personally I don't care what anyone says, I'm 58 yrs old, I've been breeding dogs for close to 40 yrs. 25-30 yrs ..really serious and I don't sell any dogs.
I know for a FACT that my dogs are bred exactly how I say the last 6 generations Guaranteed.
Before that, no one does and personally I don't think people who were going thru WW1,WW2 The depression Era, really gave a darn what the papers said so long as it sold.
Say you were looking for a Ch.(champion) Mopar dog and I had a dog off of Ch.Mopar you can bet your belly dollar it will be papered EXACTLY how you want if he needed the $ to feed his yard or worse his family.
The sad thing is even if just, 1 dog was not the real Sire of the litter and the rest were, it has thrown that whole pedigree out the window.
I bred/breed dogs that were not for the common man nor were they ever for sale and still I was dead set on registering them exactly how the breeding was done BUT I can't say who did what with my first Bulldog I got my hands on in 1980-81. I slowly started searching for what I liked or wanted, that I realized EVERYONE played with their papers.
It's a purebred and you have papers to prove it but can it prove that those dogs on your papers are exactly that ? No.
So the next time you go looking to buy a dog make sure you buy one that someone can show and prove to you at least 3-4 generations are bred exactly how the papers say they are bred.
After 4-6 gens back, truly there are not many genetics being passed on to the litter you have today, aside from color. That too is for another day ... with certain colors not being able to "produce' the color of pups you have. lol
Recessive gens etc..
Sorry for the ramblings but I'm just as dedicated to my dogs as I am to the MOPARS, In fact ...a little more with the dogs..
I'm in Canada and I have gone as far away to the Middle East, UAE, EUROPE just to breed a dog. I don't think I would have gone that far for a woman lol but you get the idea. It was a passion with no equals at one time. I have the ability to produce a litter today with the sire being dead over 30 yrs ago... Good bless technology... and with that paper hangers now are making it even easier for puppy peddlers to make a buck.
Ask for a DNA on the dog if they tell you the side died a few yrs ago...
Unless the dog was collected before they started with the DNA (I speak with experience there too lol... ) they should have DNA on the dog.
Sorry for all the Bull talk..
