A genuine pedigree has a unique registration number, an identifiable issuing registry and a traceable 4-generation genealogy — all checkable before you pay anything, from any country. Our own certificate is public: ALKC no. 249882, issued 24 Nov 2025, verifiable at alkc.org.br. Demand the same transparency from any kennel on Earth.
The ALKC (America Latina Kennel Club) is a genealogical registry operating across Brazil and Latin America; the CBPA (Brazilian German Shepherd Confederation) is breed-specific. Our puppies carry both registrations — double documentation, cross-checkable. For an international buyer, paper verification replaces the kennel visit, so it deserves ten careful minutes.
The remote checklist, step by step
| Step | What to do | What it proves |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Request documents | Photo or scan of BOTH parents' pedigrees before reserving | The registration exists |
| 2. Check the number | Every real pedigree carries a unique registration number | Not a generic decorative paper |
| 3. Verify with the registry | Check the number at alkc.org.br or by contacting the registry | Number matches the dog |
| 4. Read the genealogy | Four generations with names and registrations of each ancestor | The bloodline is real |
| 5. Link to the litter | Litter registration ties the puppies to those parents | Your puppy is from that pairing |
Red flags that end the conversation
"Papers" with no number shown. The most common scam worldwide. Parents registered, litter not. The puppy has no pedigree of its own and never will. "Pedigree costs extra." Litter registration is the breeder's obligation, already in the price — extra charges usually mean the papers never come. Recorded video instead of live calls. A kennel that cannot show you the dam and puppies live has something to hide. Any one of these alone justifies walking away.
What the genealogy tells you about your puppy
Beyond proving the breed, four documented generations reveal the type of dog you are buying: working bloodlines show ancestors from police and sport programs, and consistent breeder selection shows in repeated quality names. In our tree you will find Odin Holly's Land (German bloodline) and M-Killer da Lagoa Grande (police bloodline), with grandparents including Vucab Holly's Land and European ancestors such as Vercingétorix du Val des Hurles Vent — every name registered, every generation traceable.
Once the papers check out, the rest of the remote process — video calls, contract, reservation — follows the roadmap in the international buying guide. The difference between working and show bloodlines, which the genealogy reveals, is covered in Working Line vs Show Line.

Talk to the BreederFrequently Asked Questions
How do I verify a Brazilian ALKC pedigree from another country?
Request the parents' pedigree documents, confirm each has a unique registration number, and verify the number at alkc.org.br or directly with the registry. Then confirm the litter registration linking the puppies to those parents. All of it works remotely.
What is the ALKC?
The America Latina Kennel Club — a genealogical registry operating in Brazil and Latin America that issues pedigrees with unique registration numbers and documented ancestry. Canil Gelbes Wasser puppies also carry CBPA registration, the Brazilian German Shepherd Confederation.
Can a pedigree be faked?
Papers can be forged, which is why you verify the NUMBER with the registry rather than trusting the document's appearance. A forged number fails the registry check immediately.
Is a puppy without pedigree ever worth it?
Not from abroad. Without registration there is no way to verify breed purity, bloodline or the absence of excessive inbreeding — you would be importing an unverifiable claim at full logistics cost.
What does the Gelbes Wasser pedigree show?
A verified 4-generation genealogy under ALKC certificate no. 249882 (issued 24 Nov 2025), combining the German bloodline of Odin Holly's Land with the police bloodline of M-Killer da Lagoa Grande, with ALKC and CBPA registration on every puppy.
Ten minutes of verification protects a decade of companionship — and a kennel that helps you verify is a kennel you can trust.
