What are the show-grade standards for pet dogs?
Show-grade dogs must be purebred with certified pedigree and chip; match the breed standard (color, bite, build); be healthy (no monorchidism, no joint issues); have no forbidden alterations (dyeing, docking, cropping); and have a sound temperament (no congenital fear or aggression).
Why You Might Consider Genetic Testing for Your Dog
People use genetic testing to screen for inherited disease and confirm family ties; dogs can benefit too. A breed dog's DNA test can flag the risk of more than 130 inherited conditions, confirm whether a pricey puppy is truly purebred, serve as proof of identity if it is lost or stolen, and even predict behavior traits. It is a practical tool for smarter, more personal care.
