The AKC at last I knew did not require puppies or dogs to be DNA'd to be registered so doesn't matter what color the dog is if it is not a purebred GSD. The first thing is to get AKC to require this even though the other dogs already they it won't make a difference. However if these dogs were DNA'd we might find they are not GSD's as their parents were not. It does still boil down to who reads the results since last I knew the students at UCDavis did. Most of all horse registers today require DNA to register a foal why not the case with dogs? It is not always the case that someone deliberately cheats even though there are breeders that do for the rarity. Since a litter can have more than one sire it is possible they didn't see the other mating. But again this is not a breeder of good standing since you should know who the sire and dam are.

They are not selling German Shepherds they are selling genatic lab creations and passing them off as German Shepherds and I think GSDCA or AkC or who ever should denie the right of calling these animals German Shepherds.
