Beyond the Breed: Exploring Dog DNA
Have you ever looked at your mixed-breed pup and wondered what breeds make up his or her DNA? Did you know there are different tests you can use to discover your dog's genetic makeup?
Dog owners are becoming increasingly interested in the genetic make-up of their furry family members, giving rise to the popularity of canine DNA testing and the trend of “Breed Reveal Parties.”
This free online workshop by the Connecticut Humane Society will provide dog owners with a basic understanding of canine genetics. Owners will gain the skills needed to begin identifying dog breeds based on their physical appearance, a background in canine evolution, and a basic understanding of canine genetics.
