Question
I am an amateur siberian laika dog breeder. A year and a half ago, one of my dogs, a female a West Siberian Laika, was abducted while I was away. A dog has been found that may be her, but I need to be able to look at the dog and identify her.
How will I be able to make a positive identification of a dog after 1.5 years? She has no sign whatsoever how to identify her. She was with a male dog and had pups with him, I still have the male dog and some of her pups, could that help?
I still need to figure it out a protocol where I could make a decision like this:
1) test1 Y/N
2) test2 Y/N
....
decision Y/N
It would be better that I could identify her in 20 minutes or so.
Any help or hint would be welcomed.
I told everybody I could identify her because of some secret mark, this was a lie to be sure they would not try to fool me with an other dog.
Also, I have no photo of her expect a bad quality photo where you can't see the motives and colors of the fur. I put no microchips and no tatoos as I never thought she may be abducted.
Answer
You can do a DNA test. Get the DNA of the parent and test it against the alleged child and see if it matches.
You can google DNA test for dogs and there are lot of links. You can probably call your vet to ask and see where you can do this test that's closest to you.
If the other side declines a DNA test, then it's probably a good idea to not pursue this.
I think this is the only way to be 100% sure that it is your dog. Make sure no one has the parents' DNA but you or else the test could be faked as well.
