It sounds like you're saying AKC has actually done something ethical.

Will AKC do it with dogs who aren't from import parents? I'm wondering if we should store the DNA of our dogs here too incase something pops up?

Absolutely. In either case, the owner pays for it (around US$50-60, as I recall). I think it is VERY important, given the number of American wolfdogs here, and the propensity of some people to exploit dogs/wolves/our breed for their own personal gain. The big downfall to this is the DNA tests are done by the owner, at home, and submitted by mail.

They really need to make it like how FAVN rabies titers are done for travel.... by a USDA licensed vet, on permanently ID'd animals, and approved/signed off on by the USDA chief vet of each state. Otherwise there's still just the opportunity that DNA is simply taken from wrong animals to begin with.
