Help us with Specific Research. 
​Test Free.

If your dog qualifies, testing with us may be FREE.  

As a "Thank You" for helping us support new research and validate genetic disease testing in the Doberman, we offer limited FREE testing for dogs that meet specific criteria. Dogs that test free in specific Doberman Diversity Project research projects enjoy the full benefits of being a Doberman Diversity Project participant -- full genetic test results, free support by PhD geneticists, free access to the virtual breeding tool and more. Whatever paid participants receive is yours when you help us help our breed.
