DNA profiling provides an owner with their dog’s unique DNA identity.
DNA profiles are individual specific and allow for verification of a dog’s pedigree no matter how “line-bred” the pedigree.
DNA profiling establishes an accurate and reliable permanent record of any identity for any dog.
It confirms that pedigrees are correct and guarantees puppy buyers that pedigrees are accurate.
It can be used in cases of multiple sires and can determine and verify the sire in any litter.
It can verify parentage when using a stud service thus eliminating the doubt which surrounds unobserved stud services.
It can ensure that semen which is artificially inseminated can be verified and guarantee the semen used.
It can put to rest any issues of breeding disputes over parentage.
Direct tests can allow for accurate diagnosis of disease status of your dog (clear, carrier or affected).
"DNA testing will be good in that it will at least provide positive
identifi cation - breeders are aware of several litters registered in
Australia with colours that simply are not possible from the sire
and dam combination – DNA testing should eliminate that."
Labrador Breeder (Victoria)
" Genetic testing has been a severe learning curve for us.
Suddenly genetics seems more important and hopefully will still
be able to compliment a breeders capability to have the eye to
choose suitable breeding stock. We now look forward to a new
and more scientifi c approach to our breeding programme."
Scottish Terrier Breeder (WA).
