DNA Test for Dogs: Discovering Mixed Breed Ancestry
Credito d'immagine
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.
Stiamo ovviamente parlando dei test del DNA per i cani. Negli ultimi 6 anni diverse aziende veterinarie hanno offerto test di tampone di sangue o di cotone che offrono una valutazione nominale della storia ereditaria del tuo cucciolo. Questi test non richiedono una precisione del 100%, ma offrono abbastanza
exactitude to clear up any dinner table debates about a mixed dog breed.
Il principale giocatore nel gioco della determinazione della razza è in realtà una compagnia di caramelle. Non è dolce? Mars Incorporated, produttore di bar Mars, Snickers, M & M's e Milky Way - tutti i quali uccideranno ironicamente un cane - possiede anche una grande divisione per la cura degli animali domestici chiamata Mars Veterinary. Mars Veterinary ha un prodotto chiamato Wisdom Panel. Per i prezzi che iniziano intorno ai 60 dollari, puoi ordinare un kit di raccolta campioni dal pannello di saggezza per trovare la razza del tuo cane. Il pannello identificherà quindi la discendenza del tuo cane fino ai bisnonni.
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.
