Dog Parentage Verification

Do you have doubts about the parentage of a recent litter? Is it possible you may have a multiple-sired litter? Would you like to offer your purchasers DNA-certified pedigrees? Parentage for dogs can be definitively established using PCR technology to compare allele sizes.

​

Dog-parentage testing is fast, affordable, and accurate.

Truth DNA uses a 16-DNA marker panel for routine parentage testing and keeps an additional 12 markers in reserve for extended testing in cases involving closely-related dogs.

​

The testing fee is $58 per sample; for example, if a sire, dam and 1 progeny (puppy) are tested, the total fee for 3 dogs is $134. A typical test includes both parents; if the dam or sire is missing, please call us for more information about testing options.

You are emailed a detailed Parentage Report showing inclusion or exclusion of each sire tested along with a DNA Profile summary page.

 

Results are reported as:

• Parentage qualifies (inclusion of sire and dam): both the sire and dam matched the progeny (puppy) at all 16 DNA markers

or

• Parentage does not qualify (exclusion of sire, dam is included) : the dam matched the progeny (puppy), but the possible sire did not match the progeny and is not the sire

 

DNA results are emailed within 10 business days, once all samples are received at the laboratory.
