I'm very sceptiacl about institutional steps, too much red tape involved and too many personal interdependencies present. IMHO there are three driving forces that can change the world: fame, sex and money.
Continuous warnings about not buying CSV with possibly faked pedigrees, not only on wd, but also on other dog sites, articles in kynological press with names of the 'suspected dogs', petitions to FCI judges, etc. in my opinion would be much more efficient.
Such and similar steps might result in a decrease in the number of puppies sold in some kennels (money?
), in fewer if any, requests for some stud matchings (sex and money?
), fewer titles at shows (fame and money?
).
Eventually, this would create such financial pressure that breeders who would want to keep on the market will have to prove their reliablity by storing DNA profiles of their dogs in Laboklin, OFFA or some other respected lab, so that any potential owner/breeder could use them for genetic comparisons.
Just looking at the recent furious reaction of Furyos
I suppose such
business pressure might be quite effective.
