Common questions
Does my dog need to be tested first?
Yes. BetterBred's analysis is built on the UC Davis 33-locus STR microsatellite panel -- the gold standard in canine population genetics. Order the test directly through UC Davis Veterinary Genetics Laboratory. Upload your results and analysis is immediate.
What breeds are enrolled?
I only need it for one month. Is that okay?
Yes. Subscribe monthly, plan everything you need, cancel anytime. Most people don't cancel -- but there's no obligation to stay.
What's the difference between BetterBred and other DNA tests?
BetterBred is not a DNA testing service -- it's a population management platform built on test results. The UC Davis 33-locus STR panel is ordered separately and directly from UC Davis. BetterBred takes those results and calculates how each dog fits into the living population of its breed -- scored against every other enrolled dog, recalculated continuously. No other platform does this at the breed-population level with real STR data.
