Dog Parentage Testing without The Mother

Our Dog Parentage Test allows you to definitively establish the true parentage of your dog. While we always recommend including the mother’s sample for optimal accuracy, the test can also be conducted without it if she is unavailable.

This test provides dog breeders and owners with a reliable, scientifically backed method of confirming a dog’s pedigree, with an accuracy of up to 99.99%. It’s a trusted solution for verifying lineage and making informed breeding decisions.

Testing without the mother

In 95% of canine parentage cases, the mother is included, and we strongly recommend providing her sample whenever possible.

Even if you are confident about the identity of the mother, her DNA plays a crucial role in the testing process. Including her sample allows us to isolate her genetic contribution, making it much easier and more accurate to identify the sire’s DNA match for each pup.

If the mother’s sample is not available, we can still perform the test. However, we will need to conduct extended testing using additional DNA markers to compensate for her absence. This involves an extra charge of $71 per tested dog.

If you have the mother’s sample available, please [click here] to proceed. Including her sample helps ensure the highest level of accuracy in your paternity results.

How is the dog parentage test carried out?

Carrying out a dog parentage test is very simple and stress-free. DNA samples are collected using oral swabs, which are gently rubbed inside each participating dog’s mouth to gather cheek cells.

After you place your order, Forensics Canada will send you a Dog DNA sample collection kit that includes everything you need. Our non-invasive kit allows you to collect samples without expensive veterinary fees or the need for blood draws, making the process easy and comfortable for your dog.

Once you’ve collected the samples, simply send them back to the laboratory for testing.

While we recommend using saliva swabs, we also offer the option to test using alternative DNA samples such as blood or semen. If you wish to use one of these, please contact us in advance to discuss any additional fees and to confirm whether the sample is viable for testing.
