and not all?

Because not all dogs have been DNA tested. AKC only requires it in certain circumstances for dogs that breed multiple times.

The DNA number shows that that particular dog has a DNA profile on file. If the dog is AKC registered, has produced more than I think it is 7 litters in a year, then a DNA profile is required.
THe DNA profile only is used if there is doubt that a certain litter or pup is the progeny produced by that sire. It is NOT a health clearance, a misconception thought by many.
A foreign dog, ie from Canada, if studded to an AKC registered bitch, AKC will require a DNA profile from that male before they will register the litter even if that dog only produced one litter.

If I am not mistaken, it is required on boys that have sired three litters in a year or seven in a lifetime. i am waiting on DNA results back on my new stud right now. seems like it takes forever.
