dna?

i just got a male that my uncle gave me with no papers and my buddy has told me abt gettin a dna test done on him to find out wha his bloodline is. is it true wha my buddy is tellin me? i mean i know some breeders do it to prove that his dog's peds r true. but i didnt know it could be done without a ped? can anybody talk to me about this?

 

Unless you want to spend a ton of money it can't be done

 

well my buddy told me its only about 50 bucks to get it done with adba..i dunno maybe i should call em up

 

but they do not search a database to find where your dog came from. If your dogs sire and dam are in the database after testing they will say yes your dog is off them or no it is not. they do not seach the database and do a dna comparision

 

Dude, don't listen to your buddy. He don't know shit. Ask your Uncle if the dogs parents are registered. There is no DNA test to tell you what family of dogs your dog is. They can only compare your dogs DNA to his parents or siblings. What your buddy is leading you to believe is complete bullshit. Yeah, they have some little test on line that will tell you what breed of dog, but our dogs will always come back as "mixed" breed.

 

Very well said.

 

what i think what it will tell u is that how much % bulldogge mastiff and terrier it has in him but i aslo head of what blood line it has

 

No, they can tell you if your dog is related to another dog or not.
For instance the DNA of dog X is in their system and you want to compare it to your dog A, which you believe to be related. DNA-test will show if dog X and A are really related or not.
However, like someone else told in this topic, you can't let them take DNA of dog A and expect them to run it against everything in their system. That would cost you a fortune.

 

Also wouldn't there be privacy issues doing that ??

 

my buddy gets a little crazy sometimes and pull shit out of his ass alot! i just had to make sure i wasnt wrong in not believing him. thank u guys for the info!

 

Very little is private in todays world. lol With the right connections you can find out most anything. $$$$

 

If I'm not mistaken...the FBI is also using Databases to convict suspected dogfighters as well. Let's say they raid a dogfight in action. And somewhere in the vicinity you may have been there a week earlier or what have you and your dog took a dump. Well they would use that dump's DNA and run it against the dogs they have in their databases. And if you dog comes up let's say a littermate to the dog's confiscated in a raid...then now you have the spotlight on you as well as the person or persons who may have bred said dog. DNA is a good way to track and authenticate your dog's bloodline, but just know that their are pitfalls in doing so. The old "bait and switch". We're offering DNA analyst to authenticate your dog...while at the same time...we're using your dog's DNA to help build up our bloodline database so we can use DNA to prosecute you. Noooo thank you! lol

 

This seems like a stretch. At the least I have a hard time believing it would stand up in court.

 

I dont know why you would find it hard to believe it would stand up in court when you live in a state that charges a person with murder when they clearly know the person didnt pull the trigger. lol

 

Nice couldn't have siad it better myself..
