Using the ACS/TSA Hunt test enables us to measure phenotype (what we can observe) with genotype (the gene coding within the DNA). This is not speculation. In the above pictures you can see where the tests we are using showed linkage of these behavioral tests to specific sites on the dogs DNA. This kind of work will prove to our government that we can do a better job breeding dogs in the good old US of A. Additionally, using these tests allows us the ability to track and compare your dogs to a large number of dogs tested in the same manner. Bellow is a radar chart showing the difference in scores between dogs with limited genetic selection to dogs with multi generational selection.
