DNA certified

Just curious, what does it mean if a breeder advertises the parents are DNA certified?
Respond to this topic here on forum.oes.org  
In this country, it mostly means they are a commercial breeder. :(

DNA certification is used to verified parentage, and in our breed it's mostly seen by the commercial breeders - who actually fathered those pups?

In some breeds it is now a requirement to DNA certify as part of their registration I believe. But not for OES.

It also is a somewhat questionable boast...meant for potential puppy buyer people not in the know, to think they are doing health testing. :evil:
Thanks. That's kind of what I thinking.
What is a commercial breeder? As compared to a regular breeder? I am not familiar with the term.

Meaning a large breeder, who has a USDA license (or maybe not if they are really scummy) who are in the business to breed and sell puppies for profit.
They can be somewhat legit (but still basically large-scale backyard breeders), all the way to the puppy millers. :(
