• Hereditary disease tests allow for accurate diagnosis of disease status of your dog (clear, carrier or affected).

Genetic Management

DNA profiles are individual specific and allow for verification of a dog’s pedigree no matter how “line-bred” the pedigree. Through our ‘Genetic Management’ service, we are able to offer a program that;

• Confirms and/or establishes pedigree relationships
• Measures the level of genetic variation and inbreeding
• Identifies genetically distinct lineages within the population and establish which individual belongs to which lineage
• Model the change in genetic variation and inbreeding in future generations
• Make breeding recommendations will maintain low levels of inbreeding
