    See more information on the IPFD Harmonization of Genetic Testing for Dogs: Initiative Description

     

    " The ever-increasing emergence of new canine DNA tests and testing laboratories has made IPFD-Harmonization-logo-transparent-Lg.pngchoosing quality DNA testing providers and the right DNA tests for health and breeding decisions increasingly challenging for many owners, breeders and veterinarians. Working with a wide-spectrum of stakeholders in dog health, the International Partnership for Dogs (IPFD) “Harmonization of Genetic Testing for Dogs” initiative will provide practical support to address these challenges. "

     

    We appreciate the support of the dog community for this project! Read all about it in Dog News, Canine Chronicle, Dog World UK and the Vetpol Community, UK's coverage of IPFD's - Harmonization of Genetic Testing for Dogs.
