Can't tell puggle from a mutt? MetaMorphix, a life sciences company headquartered in Beltsville, Md., began offering the Canine Heritage Breed Test earlier this year that genetically identifies 38 American Kennel Club (AKC) recognized breeds. (The company says an advanced version due out in September will detect 116 breeds.) Mars Veterinary - a division of Mars Inc., a global company that sells candy and pet food - plans to release a competing DNA test, called the Wisdom Panel MX, through veterinarians nationwide later this month.
