What's in an AlphaDogDNA Report?
Behavior Traits
Genetic variants influence behavior and, in some cases, may alter it entirely. However, some of these findings are preliminary (early discovery) and may not apply to all breed populations or situations. These traits are also labeled as "Early Discovery Traits" in the report and should involve your observations along with any known history/experience for your dog. Behaviors are strongly influenced by the handler and home environment.
Physical Traits
The AlphaDog DNA Test reveals the genetic factors behind your dog’s unique appearance, including ear shape, tail length, and size. By analyzing key markers, it explains traits like eye color and body structure, helping you better understand and care for your dog.
Coat Traits
The AlphaDog DNA Test uncovers the genetic factors behind your dog’s coat traits, including color, patterns, and texture. It provides insights into unique features such as shading and fur type, offering a deeper understanding of your dog’s appearance.
Health Traits
Our health panel tests for over 300 genetic health traits. "Causative" health traits will cause the dog to experience symptoms of the health condition or issue, whereas "risk associations" are correlated with a condition/issue and may result in the dog being at an increased risk for that health exposure or condition.
