Canine Genetic Services
Using Data for Improved Decision Making
For five decades, Canine Genetic Services has applied quantitative genetics and statistics to help breeders and working-dog organizations better utilize the data they collect for making well-informed decisions — from breeding-program design to database systems and statistical analysis.
What we do
All services →Consulting grounded in more than five decades of animal-breeding, genetics, and data experience — and in building the International Working Dog Registry.
Canine Breeding Program Design
Optimize a breeding program for the most genetic improvement each year.
Statistical Analysis
Turn your data into decisions with R, SAS, and Stata analysis.
Online Database Creation
Cloud databases (MySQL/PHP), built on our International Working Dog Registry experience.
Data Importation
Move data out of spreadsheets and keep systems in sync — one-time or automated.
Cloud-Based Linux Server Maintenance
Ongoing Linux server support in the cloud, with DigitalOcean expertise.
A freely searchable collection of papers, most of which are peer-reviewed
Alongside our consulting, we maintain a self-hosted library of 2,436 papers and other reference works, most of which focus on genetics, animal breeding, or statistics — 837 open access — accumulated over more than five decades.
