How does Wisdom Panel® work?
----------------------------
Once your sample is received at our lab, it is scanned into our
database and assigned to a batch for testing. It then undergoes
processing to extract the from your dog’s cells which is
examined for the 321 markers that are used in the test. The
results for these markers are sent to a computer that evaluated
them using a program designed to consider all of the pedigree
trees that are possible in the last three generations. The trees
considered include a simple pedigree with a single breed (a
likely pure-bred dog), two different breeds at the parental level
(a first-generation cross), all the way up to a complex tree with
eight different great-grandparent breeds allowed. Our computer
used information from our extensive breed database to fill these
potential pedigrees. For each of the millions of combinations of
ancestry trees built and considered, the computer gave each a
score representing how well that selected combination of breeds
matched to your dog’s data. The pedigree with the overall best
score is the one which is selected and provided to you in your
dog’s individualized report.

Can Wisdom Panel® 2.0 identify issues or disease
predispositions?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Wisdom Panel® 2.0 can determine the breed makeup of a dog – it is
not designed to determine which disease traits – if any – might
be present in a dog. The real value in this test is that with
knowledge of a dog’s breed ancestry, owners can work together
with their veterinarians to develop a more targeted care plan for
their dog and have a better understanding of their dog’s physical
and behavioral traits. This one-time investment helps owners feel
confident they are providing their dog with the best care
possible.
Can puppies be tested with Wisdom Panel® 2.0?
---------------------------------------------
Yes. Wisdom Panel® 2.0 is designed for dogs of all ages and is
safe and easy to be used at any stage in a dog's development.
However, we do recommend waiting until a puppy has been weaned to
prevent cross-contamination from suckling on their mother and
having cells from her skin and milk in their mouth at the time of
swabbing.
How are key physical traits inherited?
--------------------------------------
Breeds can combine their influences in countless, fascinating
ways. It’s a unique combination that makes your dog
one-of-a-kind. Your dog may behave like – or strongly resemble –
just one of the breeds in its makeup, but – much more commonly –
your dog’s looks and personality will blend aspects of these
breeds.

different dominant and recessive traits in canines, watch the

Additional Product Information
------------------------------
Dogs can’t talk, but their can™
Over 25 million mixed-breed dog owners know their dogs…but not as
well as they could. Where does Buddy get his curly tail from? Why
does he love digging holes in the backyard? Could I be doing more
to make him happier and ier? Your dog may not be able to
tell you the answers – but his can. Wisdom Panel® 2.0, the
most comprehensive breed identification test on the market,
can not only help unravel your dog’s unique breed history, it can
also provide -based ins towards optimizing your dog’s
overall care and training needs.
Wisdom Panel® can determine the ancestry of a mixed-breed,
purebred or designer dog by testing for more than 200 breeds. A
dog’s ancestry can influence him in surprising ways. Obvious and
not-so-obvious physical traits plus behaviors like digging,
herding and barking all come from the various breeds in a dog’s
family tree. Once an owner understands a dog’s natural
tendencies, it makes it possible to create a tailored training,
exercise and tion program to fit his one-of-a-kind needs.
Can Wisdom Panel identify the breeds in a dog that was born
outside the U.S.?
Wisdom Panel was developed using genetic markers from American
Kennel Club (AKC) breeds and some non-AKC breeds in the U.S., as
well as purebred dogs from the United Kingdom, Australia, and
Western Europe. Through the course of our test development, we
have observed that certain breeds sometimes have quite different
genetic breed signatures in different geographical regions,
particularly with comparison to the same breed in Europe or
Australia. Due to these geographic variations, Wisdom Panel is
only offered in the appropriate geographical areas and we do not
recommend the test for dogs originating in countries outside
those stated above.
