Hi,
My question is I am researching the lines of the parents of the puppy i am getting and is there a way to associate the Pet name to the AKC name that is on K9data or similar sites? The owner has a link from the Male to the K9data page but it only shows its AKC name, so how do i know its realy the same dog and not some other male or maybe even one he no longer owns?

Thanks
Ben

It is called "trust". Now if you do not know the breeder, which I assume is the situation here, then you need to research the breeder and their reputation.
The AKC requires a DNA profile on any stud dog who produces 7 or more litters in a lifetime or 3 or more in one year. But that would not relate to photos.
