Canine DNA tests currently most widely offered are not designed to detect disease traits. Rather, they focus on identifying the breed or mix of breeds of the animal. Knowing the breed composition can, however, give the owner knowledge of certain diseases or conditions to look for to which the breed may be susceptible.
