At Mainely Standards, DNA testing is an important part of our commitment to responsible breeding. We use Embark DNA testing to better understand the genetic health of our dogs and to help guide breeding decisions.
DNA testing allows us to screen for a wide range of inherited conditions that can affect Standard Poodles. By understanding each dog’s genetic profile, we can make informed decisions that help reduce the risk of passing certain hereditary conditions to future generations.
In addition to health screening, DNA testing can provide information about traits, coat genetics, and ancestry. While these details can be interesting, our primary focus is using DNA testing as one of many tools to support the long-term health and well-being of our dogs and puppies.
No health test can guarantee a dog will never experience health issues, but DNA testing helps us make informed decisions and demonstrates our commitment to producing healthy, well-socialized family companions.
We view DNA testing as one important piece of the puzzle. Combined with health evaluations, temperament assessments, and responsible breeding practices, it helps us make informed decisions for future generations of Mainely Standards puppies.
