What's in a breed?

Ancestry.com test your dog's DNA against over 400 breeds.

A breed is a group of dogs that descend from a shared lineage. They're formed over hundreds of years as dog owners choose specific traits, physical features, and temperaments to pass down to new generations. Now, there are hundreds of breeds with their own characteristics and origins.

Knowing more about these genetic roots can tell us a lot about a dog's health, temperament, and appearance.

That's why Ancestry.com developed the Know Your Pet DNA test. We want to help you get to know your companion even better than you already do.

What makes your dog, your dog?

Genetic traits can determine the appearance, behavior, and development of your canine companion. Know Your Pet DNA by Ancestry® can help you identify your dog’s genetic traits and make sense of them.
