We already have over 850 Stabys who have done the DNA swab with EMBARK!! Now we will work on bringing more into the program. 😉
What else can I do to help the breed?
While you are waiting for the results of your dog’s DNA test, we highly recommend that you visit the Institute of Canine Biology site for their amazing articles and courses on genetics for breeders. This is very easy information to understand, and once you know the basics, Breeders and stud owners will be much better at picking good choices for mating and for choosing the offspring to stay intact.
And we’ll all be on the same page when we start looking at results! The courses below are FREE and enrollment is not required:
Useful Genetics – a primer on genetics that is easy to follow
COI Bootcamp — understanding the coefficient of inbreeding. They actually are fun as well as highly informative.
With the basic knowledge of genetics understood, you can also enroll in other courses at
http://www.instituteofcaninebiology.org/courses.html for additional education on this topic.
Once enrolled, you can go back and retake the courses as many times as you like! A great reference tool.
Let’s get started on changing the future now, shall we? Thank you!
