The Golden Retriever Diversity Project sponsored by the Mid-Michigan Golden Retriever Club proudly supports Embark testing to promote genetic discovery within our breed. The Golden Retriever Diversity Project and Embark have partnered to provide testing for Golden Retriever breeders/owners wishing to learn more about their dogs' genetics, and to participate in breed-wide research.

All participants purchasing this Golden Retriever Diversity Project-exclusive product agree to share their anonymized, de-identified data. All data will remain confidential. No personal information such as owner or dog names will be shared.

When possible, the Golden Retriever Diversity Project and the Mid-Michigan Golden Retriever Club encourages participants to test dogs who are unrelated by two generations (no parents, direct offspring, or siblings) to best inform on population analyses as we build a comprehensive Golden Retriever database.

This product ships for free in the continental U.S. Most packages arrive within 3-5 business days. Pre-paid return postage of swabs is included and are valid within the continental U.S.; there is a $10 flat fee for shipping outside of the U.S.
