Will the test identify my dog as purebred?Updated 8 months ago

We caution against using our DNA test (or any DNA test) to confirm whether your dog is a purebred. Different canine organizations’ breed standards don’t always have a perfect correlation with genetics. While purebred dogs are likely to have a high genomic similarity score (7, 8, 9, or 10) to their respective breed, it is sometimes possible that a dog considered to be purebred by a specific canine organization may have a lower genomic similarity score to that breed. This can be explained by the higher genetic diversity of some breeds compared to others, as well as genetic differences between the same breed depending on geography. 

As our canine genomic reference database continues to grow, we are aiming to get representatives from the same breeds across different geographies and from different breeders to help close that gap.
