What Breeds Can Be Tested Using Optimal Selection?

All breeds can be tested using an Optimal Selection DNA test, and will receive results about individual diversity and genetic health. However, certain breed statistics will not become available until a minimum number of individuals of that breed have been tested, in order to provide statistically significant population results. Please note, the Optimal Selection test does not provide breed ancestry results as the test is intended to be used on purebred dogs of known lineage.
