Bella Boo & Diggy Too! Donating GS Member | Pedigree ? I got Diggys pedigree in the mail, and I am noticing a few abbreviations after his parents and grandparents names. Like AKC DNA Anyone know what those are, and what they mean? I had not seriously thought about breeding Diggy, but I have had my first serious approach for him to breed with a guys Yorkie. I know I have my work cut out to find if he is breeding quality so I figured understanding his Pedigree would be a good start.

| akc is his registry....AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB. DNA just means a swab was done on the male and sent in to have his dna recorded just in case down the future there is a question about who is the daddy.

| Also, AKC requires a DNA on all male dogs that are used for stud three times a year or seven in a lifetime. You will probably need to get DNA on your little guy. the kit is free from AKC but you have to pay about 40.00 to have them do the test. |

Bella Boo & Diggy Too! Donating GS Member | Okay on the the web site it says DNA that it means a dog is genetically clear of disease? I wonder what diseases that means? Ill just keep reading unless someone knows off the top pf thier head. Is DNA a good thing to have done on all dogs or just dog's your breeding?

Is this something I should do only if I decide to breed him or something I should get either way? At what age should I do this?

If you wonder if he is breeding quality, find a local dog show with someone showing YOrkies, long time breeder I mean, and ask them to evaluate him for you. THey should be able to tell you his strong points and not so strong points and whether his is indeed a pet quality or not. If he is not just a pet quality you might consider showing him. | |

It's a Yorkie Thing Donating Member | Thanks for all the info guys. I never knew DNA would be taken on stud dogs after 7 breedings.
