The DNA of any dog governs the appearance of
the dog as well as being related to the general behavioral
characteristics of the breed. In recent years, there has been a
great deal of research performed on how differences in DNA give rise
to the differences that are seen between breeds.
Advances in DNA testing technology mean that it has become possible
to identify the ancestry of any dog by performing a simple test
using a cheek swab. The DNA required for the test to be run is
isolated from cells that are trapped on the DNA ID Card. All cells
carry the same genetic material, regardless of type or location in
the animal. Taking a cheek swab is therefore the easiest way to
obtain the samples needed for testing.
On receipt at the BioPet testing site the samples
are prepared and analyzed, resulting in a rapid and accurate
determination of the breeds that have contributed to the makeup of
your dog.
The company has identified 62 validated breed.
They believe that 92.5% of the mixed breed dog population in the USA
is covered by these 62 breeds.
