Canine Genetic Diversity

The UC Davis VGL’s canine diversity test measures genetic diversity within a breed by assessing each dog’s internal relatedness (IR) and comparing it to the overall breed population. Breeders can then use the VGL mating tool to choose pairings that help produce more genetically diverse offspring.
