DNA testing for males. I do not think I will be required to get this from AKC because I only plan on having 5 girls and 2 boys. But I want it. Who pays for it if AKC requires it? Probably me, but I don't know for sure and thot I'd ask. |
I know that you will pay for it and I'm not REAL sure, but I think a male has to be DNA'd after every 7 breedings. I do know for sure that you will get a correct answer to your question. |
We only had to DNA our mastiff 1 time. You're supposed to do it after 3 litters in one year or 7 in his lifetime. I hope this helps a little. |
Dna There is nothing to it..cost is $40. Contact AKC and they will send a swab kit..swab the inside of the mouth and back it goes to AKC...they will send a certificate..that's it. DNA does not change, so there is never a need to recheck it. |
What is the point of the DNA testing? Why is it done after so many litters and not before the dog is bred? |
Dna It is done to identify a frequently used stud. AKC does not consider a male a "frequently used" stud until 3 litters in one years or 7 in a lifetime. |
