DNA Profiling for Canine Parentage Verification

What is a DNA Profile? A DNA Profile, often referred to as a DNA Fingerprint or Unique Identity Profile, is an invaluable tool for canine breeders and veterinarians. Each DNA Profile is uniquely tailored to your animal and plays a crucial role in verifying parentage. Our DNA profiling adheres to the stringent guidelines of the ISAG (International Society for Animal Genetics) Canine Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) Panel 1 & 2.

Applications of DNA Profiling

• Parentage Verification: Confidently confirm parentage by verifying any mating scenarios, including external stud services or instances involving multiple sires.
• Breed Profile Integration: All requests for a Full Breed Profile include a DNA Profile at no additional cost.
• Cost Efficiency: DNA profiling requires only a one-time fee and is highly recommended for any breeding animal to ensure lineage and breed integrity.

Sample Collection Compliance For submissions involving possible multiple sires or pedigree confirmations to your kennel club, it is mandatory to adhere to the Approved Collection Method. This method requires:

• Independent Collection: Samples must be collected by a veterinarian or an Orivet-approved collection agent.
• Animal Identification: The animal must be identified via its microchip number during the independent sample collection.

Important Reminder: This test does not identify the breed of your animal.
