Our new sister lab – Dog Breeding Science

Something a bit different today! Our dog DNA testing is nearly ready to go! Later this week our website should be live and ready for owners and breeders to order testing.

What’s the first thing we’ve done for dogs?

We’ve put together a package of tests specifically for people looking at cross-breeds – that’s rescue dogs and all the designer cross-breeds. Testing dogs with this package will tell you what kind of coat to expect. How much will they shed? Will they need clipping? What about regular brushing to stop their coat matting? We’ve been listening to friends and clients who have told us this is a major issue when they pick a dog.

This package doesn’t include colour tests since we figure you can usually look at a dog and see what colour they are 😉 But if you’re really curious, you can colour test too. So far we have red/black/mask, dilute and brown testing working, and we are adding more. We’ve also got tests for a handful of disorders already underway. More news on this front soon!
