We received the following announcement via email from Mars Veterinary and are excited about it because we spoke directly to Dr. Neale Fretwell, PhD personally back when little Kylie had her DNA test done. We had lots of questions about the results and he was very kind to explain them in great detail.
Besides, this sounds very interesting:
Tune in on Wednesday, July 22nd to see Mars Veterinary’s Chief Geneticist Dr. Neale Fretwell, PhD and the mixed-breed DNA test Wisdom PanelTM MX in The History Channel’s hit show MonsterQuest. The 60 minute episode, titled “The Real Cujo,” focuses on feral dog packs in the United States and what breeds or traces of breeds are seen in some of these packs of dogs.
Dogs are known as man’s best friend. Originally descended from wolves, domesticated dogs were brought to the United States 12,000 years ago. Today, more and more dogs are being turned loose on the streets and returning to their wild roots.
In this episode, MonsterQuest launches a search to follow these feral packs, using Dr. Fretwell’s genetic expertise to trace their breed history using Wisdom Panel, and wolf expert Peggy Callahan to unlock the dog’s behavioral traits. Wisdom Panel was developed by Mars Veterinary and is the leading genetic test that allows pet owners, veterinarians and care providers to gain insight into the genetic make-up of their individual mixed-breed dog.
MonsterQuest airs on July 22nd at 9:00 p.m. EST. Click on the following link to find your local listing http://www.history.com/search.do?action=scheduleSearch&searchText=MonsterQuest
