Hello all!

Curious to know if anyone knows how to track down a dogs bloodlines. I want to get some bloodline info on my little Opus. I tried a DNA test but it came back laughable. It stated my boy was a mixture of GSP and boxer. Not a possible half and half, but maybe those two breeds. I'd like to find his father if I could and possibly the kennel the mother originated from.

I hope someone can help me!

I think it's really hard to trace bloodlines with out papered dogs. Shaz might be able to help a little bit more with this one.

A few years back I traced Max's blood lines and it came back with a Gator x X-Pert. It was very difficult to trace and timely, but I had lineage papers going back to his great, great grand parents.

How'd you do it?

I had his parents CKC papers and went from there. His grand and great grand parents were all CKC reg. He just happened to fall into the wrong hands :(

Well boo! That doesn't help me any. I have no papers and just have access to the mom that was found as a stray near a gun club. I don't want to pry too much either, because I don't want to contact someone who lost their dog a year ago.. ;)

Haha yea, I understand that. It's really hard to trace a blood line from an unregistered dog.

I noticed... I think I might email AKC and ask if they have any suggestions..

Worse case scenario, I'll just get an ILP on my black pointer boy

Yea, AKC might have some suggestions. Let me know how it goes.
