Canine DNA Profiling ISAG2006

A DNA profile, generated with a set of DNA markers, is unique to an individual, excepting the case of identical twins. By profiling their stock, breeders will be able to ensure that there can be no concerns about the authenticity of their lines. Profiling will provide a reference if there is a need to identify an individual dog at any stage in the dogs life (DNA profiles do not vary with age), for example if the dog is lost or stolen.

This test requires Mouth Swabs. Samples for testing should be sent, together with a completed DNA Testing form and payment to, Genetic Services, Animal Health Trust, Lanwades Park, Kentford, Newmarket, Suffolk CB8 7UU.
