Cora J. Belden Library: Beyond The Breed: Exploring Dog DNA For Ages 12-18 And Adults

Press release from Cora J. Belden Library:

August 18, 2021

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. This program will be held via Zoom. Registration is required to receive the Zoom meeting ID.
