Embark named DNA test provider for Westminster show
by Katie Pfaff
Dog genetics company, Embark Veterinary, Inc., has been made the official DNA test provider for dogs at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. The designation is the fourth year for the company and the 146th annual dog show for Westminster.
"Embark's partnership with Westminster is one that we take great pride in. Our first genetic health discovery earlier this year would never have come to fruition without meaningful collaboration with breeders, owners, and a national breed club," said Ryan Boyko, chief executive officer of Embark. "The more genetic data we collect from every breed, the closer we get to making more genetic discoveries that improve the life and longevity of all dogs."
Embark will provide education to dog breeders so that they can maintain the health of breeds through genetic screening and informed breeding practices.
"An important part of the Westminster Kennel Club's history and values is supporting canine health and research. The partnership with Embark brings innovative scientific research to our dog show community of preservation breeders," said David A. Helming, co-show chairman at Westminster. "Driving awareness of the tools and research discoveries that can lead to healthy generations of dogs is important in our support of the passionate breeders in our dog show community."
