    Hello you all !
     
     
    I go by the nickname Edmondine, and my love for dogs is boundless. I am deeply fascinated by their behavior, elegance, and independence. As a dedicated follower of pet blogs, I'm always on the lookout for the latest news and captivating stories about dogs from various corners of the globe.
     
    Recently, I came across a blog post discussing the use of DNA tests to identify diseases and determine the breed of dogs source: https://www.quickdna.com/blogs/news. This has piqued my interest, and I'm considering exploring these tests to gain more insights into the health and lineage of my dogs. Breeding dogs is a passion of mine, but their well-being is my top priority. I believe it's crucial to be informed about their health, and these DNA tests seem like a valuable tool in that regard.
     
    I'm curious if any of you have experience with such DNA tests and would love to hear your thoughts on their effectiveness and reliability. Looking forward to engaging in discussions with you all!
     
    THANKS.

    Hi Anonymous,

    This forum primarily focuses on keeping animals out of shelters and work in animal shelters and rescues.

    If you're a breeder, DNA testing can be super valuable for trying to prevent passing on heritable conditions. I suggest you join the Functional Dog Collaborative to learn more. They have an active facebook group.
