Canine Genetic Services
Using Data for Improved Decision Making
For four decades, Canine Genetic Services has applied quantitative genetics and statistics to help breeders and working-dog organizations make better decisions — from breeding-program design to database systems and statistical analysis.

What we do
All services →Consulting grounded in 40+ years 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

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 2,296 papers and other reference works, most of which focus on genetics, animal breeding, or statistics — 792 open access — accumulated over more than 40 years.
