This kit requires activation using a sample key and activation code at https://dna.akc.org prior to submission. Failure to do so will result in delays in receiving results. Includes genetic identity for parentage verification and genetic health and traits testing. Does NOT determine dog breed.

Overview

Enhance your breeding program with AKC DNA + Health kits!

The AKC DNA Profile, provided in this kit, is the only AKC-approved parentage verification panel that meets your AKC registration needs, including:

Frequently Used Sire Requirement
Frozen Semen and Fresh/Extended Semen Requirement
Foreign/Import Requirement
Conditional Registration Requirement

The AKC DNA + Health kit includes DNA health and trait testing, which is recommended to avoid certain breed-specific inherited diseases. This kit offers over 328 markers for health and traits, including coat colors. Results are verified using world class technology from Neogen (to internally validate results to match each specific dog if AKC DNA for sire and dam are on file).

Your purchase of our AKC DNA + Health kit comes with lifetime access to canine genetic counselors (staffed by veterinary professionals) to help you make smarter breeding decisions.

You’ll feel good knowing that every purchase helps to fund the work of AKC’s non-profit affiliates such as the AKC Canine Health Foundation (CHF).

Processing:

Activate at dna.akc.org using the sample key and activation code assigned to each individual kit.
Accurate results within 4-6 weeks after receipt at the lab.
Kit does not ship with tracking information.

Reporting:

Results will be emailed to the customer’s address on file.
Report includes letter of analysis for the AKC DNA Profile, and report for health and traits results.

Please Note: AKC DNA testing DOES NOT determine breed of the dog (breed purity), conformation, performance ability, or specific coat color. AKC DNA health and trait tests are for informational purposes only. A normal result does not exclude a different cause of this disease, either from a different genetic variant, or from another cause. Abnormal results are not diagnostic for the disease. If you are concerned your dog may have this disease, please consult your veterinarian. Trait testing provides genotypes for color or trait markers, but does not determine specific color or traits.

The AKC DNA Health Test Kit is excluded from 30-day satisfaction guarantee.

AKC DNA + Health Kits will be shipped without a tracking number, please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery.
