What Is AKC DNA Profiling?
AKC DNA Profiling is used to verify a dog’s identity and parentage.
It confirms that the dogslisted in a breeding are the actual parents of the litter.
DNA profiling does not evaluate
health—it ensures transparency, traceability, and accurate records.
What Is AKC Health Testing?
AKC Health Testing screens for known inherited genetic conditions using validated DNA markers.
Results identify whether a dog is Clear, a Carrier, or At Risk/Affected for specific diseases.
These results allow breeders to make informed pairing decisions to avoid producing affected puppies.
Understanding Clear, Carrier, and Affected
- Clear: The dog does not carry the mutation for the tested condition.
- Carrier: The dog carries one copy of a recessive mutation but is not affected.
- Affected: The dog carries two copies of the mutation and may develop the disease.
What Does a Paired Breeding Mean?
When two dogs are paired responsibly, their genetic results are evaluated together.
A Clear × Clear or Carrier × Clear pairing ensures that no puppies will be genetically affected by the condition tested.
Carrier × Carrier pairings are avoided to prevent affected offspring.
What to Expect in Puppies
In a Carrier × Clear pairing, puppies may be either Clear or Carriers.
Carrier status does not impact health, temperament, or working ability. It only becomes relevant if that dog is bred in
the future.
