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. Simple and harmless collection technique - A brief swab of the inside of your dog's cheek collects the DNA sample.

If your curiosity goes beyond just the random guessing game then Breed DNA Identification is for you. You may find yourself being surprised what the ancestry of your best friend is.

A Note from Renouned Dog Trainer & DTW Partner, Graham Bloem:

During my 11 years professionally training dogs from all over the world, one thing remained a top priority when performing my initial evaluation of the pet...what breed or breed mix is the dog. Obviously being able to run a DNA test on each dog wasn't a possiblity, so I would use a number of different factors to decide what I believed the breed was if it was an unknown. However, now that Bio Pet has this amazing DNA Breed Identification Kit, trainers can suggest to their clients that they purchase one, and in 2-3 weeks time we will have a much better idea of the dogs natural genetic characteristics. Is the dog primarily a sporting dog, guardarian breed or maybe an independent northern breed? You can see how finding out your dogs breed or even a good part of it can be very helpful when understanding his/her behaviors and working with them either on your own or with a professional dog trainer like myself.
