If your breeder didn't provide you with any paperwork documenting his parentage (such as an AKC registration certificate) then unfortunately there is no way to prove for certain whether he is purebred or not. If you want to try and find out "unofficially", you can have him DNA tested using a Wisdom Panel blood or cheek swab test. These tests aren't always completely accurate, but could give you an idea of whether Halo has any other breeds in his background :)

1) if your puppy has papers from a Kennel Club it is pure bred. If not you can ask to see the parents, or ask the owner of the parents to send you copies of the pedigree papers of the parents. 2) you can have a DNA test done by UC Davis through your vet.
