Important Note on Kennel Club Registration

DNA testing confirms genetic relationships and disease risk, but breed identification and parentage results do not by themselves establish the documented lineage required for kennel club registration.

Check directly with your breed registry or kennel club for its specific pedigree, parentage and documentation requirements. Genetic testing supports responsible recordkeeping but does not replace an official paper pedigree.

Dog DNA Testing for Breeders FAQs

No. Breed matching supports a purebred claim but does not by itself establish the documented lineage required for registry approval.
The Dog Parentage Verification Test compares puppy, sire, and dam samples. If the dam is not available, use the Extended Marker Parentage Test.
Many responsible breeders use DogCheck 4.0 to screen for carrier status before pairing dogs, helping reduce the risk of passing on hereditary conditions.
