In order to assure accuracy of our stud books to the general public both here and abroad, the Board of Directors is considering random parentage DNA tests of 3 or 4 litters per year. These tests will be funded by CBCA unless parentage proofs to be wrongly reported - then the cost will have to be covered by the breeder. Should there be misrepresentation of dam and/or sire in a litter this would of course also have consequences as prescribed in the Animal Pedigree Act.
