Canine STR Parentage
SKU No. 408 | Catalog No.
Generating a genetic profile for the offspring, mother and all possible sires of a litter can enable comparison of DNA markers to confirm pedigree relationships. Each animal must have a profile in order to compare between pup and sire or "trio" of mother, father and offspring.
Parentage analysis enables breeders to confirm which sire fathered a pup and can be especially useful in cases of dual-sired litters. Testing can also be used by kennel clubs and breed registries to help maintain accurate pedigree records.
