I recently had an issue with breed DNA so I am posting what AKC has on thier website to help clear it up some.
From AKC website:
What information does the DNA testing provide?
AKC DNA Profiling is for genetic identity and parentage verification purposes only. It does not provide information regarding genetic health, conformation, performance ability, coat color, etc. AKC DNA testing does not determine the breed of a dog.
Can DNA testing determine the breed of a dog?
No. AKC DNA testing does not determine the breed of a dog. Breeds are determined by clubs that come together and establish breed standards to help define a breeds. These guidelines can vary in different countries as well. Breed purity is determined by pedigree. AKC DNA helps certify parentage within a pedigree, if DNA for the sire and dam are on file.
