Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2007 21:49:39 -0400 LOL...I have also known of this happening to someone once.... sable pups out of 2 b&ts is a dead giveaway that somebody else may have snuck into the cookie jar! In the case I know of (also before dna) they also had a sable male house dog and I believe they only registered the sable pups, as those were the only ones they could be sure of who the daddy was!

Her breeders/owners DID have a sable house dog, but, had a black and tan male with ROM points and wanted him to earn his ROM. This was before dna testing and apparently the AKC didn't give a hoot, as they did register everyone!! True story. The male never did get his ROM. The Select Champion bitch never produced anything showable!!
