DNA profile on stud

How does a stud dog get his DNA profile to the AKC?

Re: DNA profile on stud

I had my dog done directly by the AKC at a dog show but here is a link to the information you need: http://www.akc.org/dna/certify.cfm

Thanks,

You should be able to submit cheek swabs (or blood, semen samples) to them directly, using the forms from their website. I have now had 2 stud dogs with AKC DNA profiles on file and haven't had a problem- it just takes a few weeks. From what I remember, there is a certain number of litters they can sire before they are *required* to have a DNA profile on file with AKC itself (AKC doesn't seem to accept other companies DNA listings, from what I've found).
