Can you get papers for a dog without papers?

Can a DNA test tell if a dog is purebred?
AKC DNA testing does not determine the breed of dog or if a dog is purebred.
How can I DNA test my dog?
The process of DNA testing is straightforward for dog owners. You can order a dog DNA test kit from Amazon, Chewy, and other online retailers. Then, your breed identification test consists of a cheek swab. The DNA testing itself was simple for us, though we had to bribe Scout with bacon before we swabbed her cheek.

How can I tell if my dog is a purebred Lab?
There are three main methods you can use to determine if your dog is a purebred Lab. These are a visual assessment, a DNA test, and pedigree papers. Visual assessments are the least accurate, as they only compare a dog to the official breed standard. If you’re trying to figure out if you have a purebred black Lab, visual assessments won’t help!
Can a dog have registration papers but not be purebred?
A dog can have registration papers, yet not be purebred, because registration papers can be falsified. Most registries, such as the AKC, operate primarily on the honor system. They simply take the breeder’s word for it that “King” and “Queen” were really the parents of Solomon.
What happens if you register a dog with an unknown sire?
A single case of an unknown sire can result in the cancellation of hundreds of AKC registrations. The negative reaction, especially from owners who registered their dog with AKC only to later have it canceled, is very damaging to AKC’s image.
What do registration papers and pedigrees tell about a dog?
Registration papers and pedigrees don’t tell you anything about a dog, other than its place in the chain of names. To get registration papers or a pedigree, a dog doesn’t need to meet any qualifications of health, temperament, behavior, or structure.
