TUMUT

PEDIGREELAND
Fake registration with impunity 
Hard as it is to believe, many owners and breeders must now re-evaluate
their dogs' pedigrees as it has been revealed that the stud in 
Scrimshaw Topsy Turvy's litter 07/04/1993 is 
Democrata De Gifford ("Fusco"), and not the registered stud dog 
Pennrico Partial Eclipse *

Thanks to DNA testing many unscrupulous breeders are being caught. 
These breeders have stolen breedings:
A) To promote their own dogs
B) To avoid paying stud fees
C) To win as many titles as possible by improving their line
without giving due credit 
D) To hide the mating of closely related or otherwise unsuitable
dogs (e.g. undesirable recessive genes) etc.

The following are the results of Fusco (Democrata De Gifford)'s 
un-recorded matings while in the U.S.A. for testing between 2/93 and10/94:
