Hello Sara Jane Tinker,
TeBeau's swab is at our lab and has started processing. The results should be ready in one to three weeks.
Our geneticists first extract TeBeau’s DNA from the saliva swab. Then they look at thousands of genetic markers to detect the mutations behind diseases and other traits like coat color. After intensive quality control we deliver specific genotypes and insights for TeBeau, such as inbreeding and genetic diversity.
While you wait for your test results, here are some educational resources – Should I breed a carrier or at-risk dog? and how to interpret coat color results – to get you started on your breeding program journey.
Thank you!
