We know by experience in the breed (high inbreeding level) that the probability have to be ultra low, IMHO in this case with all associated problems around, this should not be researched as first evidences.

This is difficult as if you don't fit a current research program, universities won't put a cent on this. So right now the effort should be put on DNA parentage testing.
Won't breeding clubs, with help of law(?), could help going in this direction ? Implication regarding number of offspring is scaring...
