New dog DNA test to determine breed

1441 Views 9 Replies 9 Participants Last post by  subroc
Our local news has had several stories on a Maryland company that has developed a new canine heritage DNA test that can determine breed composition of mutts. The company, MetaMorphix (also developed the pedigree DNA test AKC uses), says it can identify 38 different breeds from a cheek swab. The test will be available to the public in about a month, according to the press information.

Hmmm....wonder if silver Lab breeders are quaking in their boots?

If they can't differentiate a dogs DNA from a wolf how are they going to tell the breeds apart? Sounds like bullpuckey.
