DNA INFORMATION

The AMTC DNA Profiling brings parentage testing technology to AMTC customers. The DNA Profiling samples are collected and ordered thru the American Morkshire Terrier Club® (AMTC) www.amtcusa.com/dna-and-testing.  Individuals are responsible for ordering and submitting their DNA Kits from AMTC. DNA is a requirement for breeding members of AMTC and information is found under breeder levels on the breeder membership page of this site. DNA profiling does not provide any information as to what breed or genetic hereditary markers a dog has but does determine the correct Sire and Dam of a particular litter for identification and parent verification purposes. If there's any question about parentage, this DNA test will confirm the proper Sire and Dam. This technology allows breeders, dog owners, and the AMTC to ensure that the AMTC Registry is accurate.
