Pedigree
When you get a puppy and you are given it's pedigree.So if you adopt or buy a older dog and the owner gives you it's pedigree, how do you know if it's the same dog???

If you knew what the pedigree was, could you not contact the dogs original breeder and try and confirm whether the story stacks up - i.e. did the original breeder sell that pup to the current owners?

I would think it is all down to trust.
Not to mention DNA testing .......but I think if I felt suspicious of a breeder doing such a thing..I would walk away from said breeder.

As regards the highlighted part.......
I would too, but also if before chosing a breed of pup or a breeder , you do your homework then this situation would be unlikely to arise.
