Of course required for artificial… reread and don't know where you got I didn't know that. I said:
As for proving, if you are not using semen, you don't have to test generally.
Pretty clear I know if you use semen (ie not live cover) you have to test. But you ALSO have to test when producing lots of litters. I saw no reason to get into the specifics there. But let me state it clearly so you don't argue more on item that has nothing to do with the issue..
If you use semen (ie not live cover) you have to do DNA. If you do live cover, generally you do NOT have to do DNA unless you
1. use more than one stud
2. the stud produces a certain number of litters (not looking up number) and a few other situations.
And Pat, chill, really. I didn't say looks was the ONLY. My point, which I stated repeatedly, is that the African dogs also don't KNOW for sure if pure basenji.
