DNA Test for Dogs: Discovering Mixed Breed Ancestry
Crédit d'image
Owning a mutt is advantageous for a few reasons. They’re outbred dogs so they usually won’t have any of the breed specific health issues common to purebred dogs. They are numerous, and much cheaper than a certified full blooded animal, and they are often extremely well-adjusted pets that make for grateful companions. However, you don’t get the added benefit of extensive breed history or managed expectations due to your wide breadth of knowledge concerning a particular animal bloodline.
The other less tangible drawback is your own curiosity. Owning a mixed dog breed often leads to a lot of speculation. You’re always wondering whether that short snout is a sign of a pug or a bulldog. Is that curved bushy tail more reminiscent of a huskie or a retriever? Luckily, the answers to these frustrating questions have been available since 2007 and are becoming increasingly affordable to purchase.
Nous parlons, bien sûr, des tests ADN pour les chiens. Depuis 6 ans, plusieurs sociétés vétérinaires offrent des analyses de sang ou de coton qui permettent de déterminer l'histoire héréditaire de votre chiot pour une somme modique. Ces tests ne prétendent pas à 100% de précision, mais ils offrent assez
exactitude to clear up any dinner table debates about a mixed dog breed.
Le joueur principal dans le jeu de la détermination de race est réellement une compagnie de bonbons. N'est-ce pas doux? Mars Incorporated, fabricant des barres Mars, Snickers, M & M's et Milky Way, qui tuera ironiquement un chien, possède également une très grande division de soins aux animaux appelée Mars Veterinary. Mars Veterinary a un produit appelé le Wisdom Panel. Pour les prix qui commencent autour de 60 dollars, vous pouvez commander un kit de prélèvement d'échantillon du panneau de sagesse pour trouver la race de votre chien. Le panneau identifiera alors l'ascendance de votre chien jusqu'à ses arrière-grands-parents.
It works by looking at your dog’s DNA and identifying certain genetic markers that match an established database of those same markers which appear in other dog breeds at different frequencies. The greater the number of markers, the more accurate the test. Since Wisdom Panel has been doing it the longest and has the largest database, they are assumedly the industry leader for this process.
While the information is fascinating, it serves little more than an informational and entertainment purpose. You can’t use these genetic analyses to determine potential health issues for your pet, nor does it serve any other particularly practical purpose. It’s just to sate curiosity and fuel conversations. It’s basically a novelty purchase for pet lovers, and because we love our useless novelties, it’s a popular one too.
Once again, these tests are basically just for fun. No medical information can really be inferred, and you won’t be able to certify your dog as purebred, (that can only be done an official kennel club, and it isn’t cheap.) However, you definitely can use these test to settle a silly argument or bring up a bit of interesting water cooler talk at your earliest given opportunity.
