Helping you learn more about your pal’s personality traits

Whether your dog is a fluffy ball of energy or more placid and well-behaved, each has its own distinct personality, and you may be wondering how and why they exhibit the traits they do. When you have your dog or cat's DNA tested, you will receive a report with detailed information on the breeds identified in his ancestors. If you do a deep dive, you might discover why your pet does particular things.

Some of these characteristics may be inherited from their breeds, as many dogs have personality traits and triggers that can be linked back to those bred into their forefathers. 'DNA My Dog' is a common test sold by companies such as International Biosciences and Who'z the Daddy? that analyzes your dog's DNA for this information. This breed is only discovered by examining your dog's DNA; it would have been impossible to discern from her physical qualities alone.
