In the tens of thousands of years since dogs evolved from wolves, humans have adapted them to become one of the most diverse species on the planet. There are now over 400 recognized breeds defined by desired physical and behavioral traits. Due to the nature of segregation by breed, purebred dogs have narrower gene pools and lower genetic diversity, which can lead to health concerns at both the individual and breed levels. In this webinar, learn about technological advances and genetic tools that can help veterinarians and breeders identify desirable and undesirable genetic variants. Understand when and how to use these tools to enhance breeding programs, preserve the overall health and longevity of breeds, and improve dog health.
