Combibreed Pastor Alemán

This CombiBreed package is designed to provide you with vital insights into your dog’s genetic health, traits and diversity and includes DNA tests for numerous important diseases and/or traits. In addition, we also calculate the Coefficient of Inbreeding (COI) and the percentage of Heterozygosity of your German Shepherd’s DNA. The COI shows the degree of inbreeding of your dog, whereas the Heterozygosity percentage is a measure of your dog’s individual genetic diversity.

Information about individual tests in this package is available in the section ‘Included Tests’ on this page. We accept samples from animals of any age. Normally, the turnaround time of tests performed at our own facilities is 10 working days after receipt of the sample. For outsourced tests, so-called “External lab”, or “External Patent lab”, the turnaround time is at least 20 working days after receipt of your sample. Please note that the mentioned 20 working days is an estimate, as the shipping time to these external laboratories or patent facilities may vary due to unexpected delays.

Some tests included are performed by an external laboratory. CombiBreed takes care of the mediation between you as a customer and the external laboratory. In these cases, CombiBreed cannot be held liable for the behaviour of the client and/or contractor.
