    But shouldn’t breeders be able to trace their dog’s lineage through pedigree anyway?

      Anyone can lie and make fake paperwork. DNA is just that second check to have a much better read on the truth (assuming they don’t mix up the samples).

      Honestly, I’m not a breeder or a dog enthusiast though. However, I do love my shibas even if they may not exactly be pure bred.
