DNA and the AKC
Making the Science Work for You
The AKC offers a comprehensive set of voluntary and mandatory programs to ensure
the integrity of the AKC registry: voluntary DNA Profiling; the Frequently Used
Sires requirement; the Fresh-Extended/Frozen Semen requirement; the
Multiple-Sired Litter Registration Policy; and the Kennel Inspections/Compliance
Audit Program. The AKC has built the world's largest database of canine DNA
profiles for parentage verification and genetic identity purposes.
The Science Behind AKC DNA Profiles
AKC DNA Profiles are generated using the same technology used by law enforcement
agencies throughout the world. How does this work? In humans and dogs alike,
each gene is present as two copies (displayed as letters). Offspring receive one
copy of each gene from each parent in a random process.
This technology does not use actual genes, but other DNA sequences that are also
inherited one copy from each parent. For this reason, your dog's AKC DNA Profile
does not provide any information about the conformation of the dog or the
presence/absence of genetic diseases. Furthermore, AKC DNA Profiles cannot
determine the breed of a dog.
Voluntary DNA Profile
This voluntary program has resulted from significant input from the fancy. The
DNA Profile Program is for owners and breeders electing to add value to their
breeding programs by eliminating concerns or questions about identification and
parentage.
A dog owner may contact AKC for a DNA Test Kit which includes a swab that the
owner uses to collect loose cells from inside the dog's cheek. An AKC DNA
Profile containing the dog's registration information, genotype, and a unique
DNA Profile number is issued for each dog sampled. This DNA Profile number will
appear on subsequently issued Registration Certificates and Pedigrees.
DNA Requirements
AKC DNA Profiling is required for: Frequently Used Sires (dogs having the
greatest impact on the AKC Stud Book); imported breeding stock; dogs whose semen
is collected for fresh-extended or frozen use; and for the sires, dam and
puppies for Multiple-Sired Litter Registration.
Kennel Inspections/Compliance Audit Program
AKC Representatives take DNA samples at randomly selected kennels to verify
identification and parentage of litters. AKC litter registration and privileges
will be withdrawn when the parentage of the litters is determined to be
incorrect. The dogs sampled through the Compliance Audit Program are not
considered AKC DNA Profiled, and DNA Profiles are not issued.
The AKC DNA Database and Parentage Verification
Comparison of the DNA profiles of a dam, sire, and pup(s) will determine, with
greater than 99% confidence, whether the pups are from the tested dam and sire.
The AKC DNA database examines the parentage of all AKC DNA Profiled registered
dogs and litters whelped on or after January 1, 2000. When problems are
discovered, the DNA staff works with breeders to determine correct parentage at
the breeder's expense.
AKC Parentage Evaluation Service
For a fee, an AKC DNA Analyst will issue a Parentage Evaluation of a litter in
the form of an easy to read table listing each dog's genotype and a written
report.
Parentage Evaluation can be used to ensure accuracy when breeding has been done
offsite, for cases of artificial insemination, or to add to extra measure of
confidence to your pedigrees.
AKC Parentage Profile
For AKC registered dogs born on/after January 1, 2000, dog owners may purchase a
handsome profile displaying the registration information and genotypes for the
dog and its AKC registered sire and dam. All three dogs must be AKC DNA Profiled
to purchase this profile.
