I keep hearing people state the white GSD "proof in DNA" There still is no accurate proof of breed of dog through testing their DNA!!!! Dog breed genetic tests put to the test http://news.vin.com/VINNews.aspx?articleId=23206 However, for years they could determine parentage by DNA. In my horse breed we have Hackney, Saddlebred, Quarter Horse, etc. breeds that were introduced into the breed before blood testing- DNA was required for both sire and dam. So just because the parents are DNA'd back to the offspring does not mean another breed did not enter earlier. So please tell me why AKC-GSDCA and the white GSDs dog breeding keep saying it is in the DNA? Since the AKC has never required proof of parentage by DNA of the parents who really knows for sure.
