Our preferred testing panel for North American dog breeders, Optimal Selection™ Canine, is breed-focused and backed by science, ideal for use on purebred or purpose-bred dogs to screen for health, traits, and genetic diversity. We’ve taken the latest scientific discoveries in dog genetics and developed a simple and easy at–home swab test for the modern breeder to manage their dogs’ health and help reduce guesswork on litter outcomes. Our genome-wide testing panel provides advantages over traditional techniques such as pedigree analysis, and helps breeders to develop proactive, sustainable breeding programs for themselves and their wider breed. It's no surprise that Optimal Selection Canine is used by breeders, veterinarians and researchers worldwide. The test includes:

  • Screening for genetic conditions related to drug sensitivities, vision, weight, mobility, and more with 270+ health tests.
  • Testing for 50+ traits including coat colors, coat types, and morphology
  • Genetic diversity information of the tested dog
