Should You Get a Dog DNA Test?
With the popularity of human DNA testing, it was only a matter of time before that curiosity extended to our four-legged friends. Nothing should benefit man that shouldn t also benefit man s best friend, after all.
The goal with testing dog DNA, though, is a little different from human testing, which is mostly performed to find out about your ancestry and family heritage. The typical desire with dog DNA kits is to pinpoint exactly what breeds of dogs are inside your mutt. It s a question that plagues some dog owners/guardians and one that ultimately isn t that important, to be perfectly honest. A mixed-breed mutt s going to have fewer genetic problems, due to its lack of inbreeding.
