Connecticut Humane Society: Beyond the Breed: Exploring Dog DNA In-Person
This program was originally scheduled for August 6th. If you registered for the original date, your registration will automatically carry over to the new date, so there's no need to register again.
Dog owners are becoming increasingly interested in the genetic makeup of their furry family members. As the popularity of Canine DNA testing grows and the trend of “Breed Reveal Parties” takes hold, the need for a general understanding of dog evolution and genetics grows. In order for owners to fully understand how their small mixed-breed dog could possibly have German Shepherd in its DNA, they need a basic understanding of canine genetics.
This program will provide the skills needed to identify dog breeds based on their phenotypic characteristics, give background information on canine evolution, and provide a basic understanding of canine genetics.
