How Dog Breed Testing Works 
The Canine Heritage™ XL Breed Test will give you a breakdown and breed analysis of approximately documented canine breeds.
There are many benefits of having the answers to the mystery that is your mixed breed dog. Some of the benefits of knowing your dogs genetic makeup are:
- The ability to identify and record the breed composition
- Learn more about your canine’s ancestral heritage
- Understand predisposed breed health risks and diseases
- Better health and wellness management
- Diet and excercise tailored to your canine™ needs
- Understand predisposed behaviors and personalities
- Train and play with them in the ways that will appeal to their natural talents
- An answer to that common question, "What are they?"
Simply follow the provided directions, included with the Canine Heritage™ kit, place the swab in the packaging along with your submission form and drop in a mail box. Make sure to write down your XL test number!
In approximately 2 - 4 weeks, results will be sent back to you in the form of a frame quality Certificate of DNA Breed Analysis. If you provide a digital photo of your pet, it will also be printed on the certificate at no extra charge.

"The Canine Heritage Breed Test is one of the most innovative products I have seen in years. I am a huge proponent of adoption, so my four legged family comes from shelters and breed rescue groups. Finding out what breeds are in my dog's genetic makeup has not only satisfied my curiosity, but given me invaluable health and behavioral information."
