Multiple Sires Were Present
Testing can confirm which suspected male is the biological sire when more than one male had access to the dam during breeding.
A dog paternity DNA test compares genetic markers between a puppy and a suspected sire to confirm or rule out biological paternity, commonly used by breeders when multiple males were present at breeding or when documentation needs verification. DogDNATest.ca offers standard and extended-marker paternity tests for Canadian breeders, both processed through accredited labs with results in 4-6 weeks.

Parentage testing provides objective documentation when a sire relationship cannot be confirmed from breeding records alone. It can also support responsible DNA testing for dog breeders and transparent communication with puppy buyers.
Testing can confirm which suspected male is the biological sire when more than one male had access to the dam during breeding.
A laboratory parentage result can provide additional confidence when a puppy buyer requests verified sire documentation.
Genetic comparison provides an evidence-based way to confirm or exclude a disputed biological relationship.
The laboratory compares inherited genetic markers from the puppy with markers found in the suspected sire and, when available, the dam.
Use the supplied cheek swabs to collect DNA from each dog included in the comparison.
The accredited laboratory compares the puppy's markers with those of the suspected parent.
Results provide a high-confidence biological match or exclusion for the tested relationship.
Check the current dog DNA test results timeline before planning documentation deadlines.
The correct test depends on which family members are available for sampling. Both options are priced at $229.50 CAD.

Paternity testing answers whether a specific dog is the biological sire. It does not replace breed identification or registration requirements.

The lab compares genetic markers from the puppy against the suspected sire's sample to confirm or exclude a biological match.
Not necessarily. The Extended Marker test verifies paternity using only sire and puppy samples.
Paternity testing uses the same accredited lab standards as other DNA tests, providing high-confidence match or exclusion results.
