Beyond the Breed: Explaining Dog DNA with Connecticut Humane Society

Join the Connecticut Humane Society for this educational program in celebration of National Pet month!

Dog owners are becoming increasingly interested in the genetic make-up of their furry family members. As the popularity of Canine DNA testing grows and the trend of “Breed Reveal Parties” takes hold, the need for a general understanding of dog evolution and genetics grows.

In order for owners to fully understand how their small mixed breed dog could possibly have German Shepherd in its DNA, they need a basic understanding of canine genetics.

This program will provide the skills needed to identify dog breeds based on their phenotypic characteristics, give background information in canine evolution, and provide a basic understanding of canine genetics.

Recommended for Adults 18+. Please Note: This is a virtual program via Zoom. Participants will receive a link to the program via email upon completing registration.
