If you have any doubt as to the validity of your dog's breed, there are companies available that perform canine DNA testing. The testing provides information as to the lineage and breeds that make up your dog. There are several companies that do this, all ranging in price, detail, and reputability. Beyond this, there is no positive way to identify Marley's breed without question. If you do find out Marley is not pure bred but the papers say otherwise, I would definitely confront the breeder or pet store from which you acquired him with the new found information.
