Hi im interested to know if anyone knows anything about gene testing? Ive heard it mentioned many times after incidents on the news, where a dog is taken for gene testing to ascertain the breed. I understand there are genetic differences between breeds with regards to characteristics,but i am looking for specific information about genetic tests to identify the breed of dog as many breeds have similar characteristics and so are not definitive

Cant find anything on the kennel club website except for health related tests or genetic profiling for identification purposes. Nor the rspca website. Maybe i need to ask a police man. Tanks anyway
