What is BITSA?

BITSA (Breed Identification Through Scientific Analysis) uses cutting edge DNA technology to provide an accurate history of your dog’s ancestry. This involves analysing hundreds of snippets of your dog’s DNA- acquired through a simple cheek swab. These snippets are then cross-referenced against an extensive genetic database to provide a breed signature – or a series of breed signatures.
