DNA Test for Dogs: Discovering Mixed Breed Ancestry
Jenna T. uit Spring, Texas
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.
We hebben het natuurlijk over DNA-tests voor honden. De afgelopen 6 jaar hebben verschillende veterinaire bedrijven bloed- of wattenstaafproeven aangeboden die aanbieden om de erfelijke geschiedenis van uw pup te bepalen voor een nominale vergoeding. Deze tests claimen niet 100% nauwkeurigheid, maar ze bieden wel voldoende
exactitude to clear up any dinner table debates about a mixed dog breed.
De belangrijkste speler in het spel van rasbepaling is eigenlijk een snoepbedrijf. Is dat niet lief? Mars Incorporated, maker van Mars-repen, Snickers, M & M's en Milky Way's - die ironisch genoeg een hond zullen doden - bezit ook een zeer grote dierenverzorgingsafdeling genaamd Mars Veterinary. Mars Veterinary heeft een product genaamd het Wisdom Panel. Voor prijzen die beginnen rond de 60 dollar, kunt u een monsterverzamelkit bestellen via het wijsheidspaneel om het ras van uw hond te vinden. Het paneel identificeert vervolgens de voorouders van uw hond tot zijn overgrootouders.
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.
