Genetic testing has to do with two things, the speed, availability, and cost of genetic sequencing, as well as the interest or inteligent people to interpret the results. The sequencing aspect is getting easier and cheaper every day. I don't think that there is any shortage of interest in this hobby.



Yes there are actually two different companies that developed specific loci for most of the purebred breeds of dogs. With a blood sample and less than $100 you can find out what breeds make up your mutt.
