Compare Genetic Markers
Genetic markers are compared against thousands of reference samples representing individual breeds, types and varieties.
Dog breed identification testing compares your dog's genetic markers against a reference database of 350+ breeds to estimate ancestry composition by percentage. DogDNATest.ca uses accredited lab microarray technology with 99.9% accuracy in breed detection, giving Canadian owners a clear picture of what breeds make up their dog, down to trace-level ancestry.

Genetic markers are compared against thousands of reference samples representing individual breeds, types and varieties.
Matching segments are analyzed and compiled into a percentage breakdown showing the strongest ancestry contributions.
Contributions under 5% may be reported as trace ancestry, reflecting breeds from more distant generations.
Your report organizes the strongest breed matches into an easy-to-understand ancestry composition. Percentages shown here are illustrative; every dog's results are unique.
The report turns laboratory analysis into practical ancestry information that is easy to review, save and discuss with your veterinarian.

Standard breed identification may not reliably flag wild-canine ancestry. Owners investigating possible wolf or coyote ancestry should use a test designed specifically for that purpose.
From energetic mixed breeds to gentle family companions, ancestry results can help owners better understand the dogs they already love.
