Explore the fascinating world of canine genetics with our comprehensive 14-week course, designed for breeders, trainers, veterinarians, and dog enthusiasts.
The Course
The Course
Genes are the basic bricks of information needed for the emergence of any currently known life forms.
But how do they operate? How do they “create” any types of traits? How do they determine appearance and influence behaviour? How are they linked to certain diseases, and how can we take the necessary precautions based on genetic information?
Many of these questions and topics recur in the case of dogs.
Whether you are a breeder, a trainer, a vet, or a dog keeper who believes in life-long learning, this course is designed for you!
Discover the answers to these questions and more in our in-depth Canine Genetics Course.
I have attended this course and will highly recommend it to every breeder. It is presented in a very nice way and everybody will be able to learn a lot. The illustrations are so fantastic. I can still see many of the pictures in my head when thinking of a specific topic.

Tailored for You
The Canine Genetics Course starts by introducing the molecular fundaments of genetics and gradually builds up until it arrives at the complex topics of canine genetics and dog breeding.
That is why the course is lengthy; we will be together for 14 weeks.
The smooth presentation style of Dr Sára Sándor, illustrating the topics with many examples, will professionally guide you through the course.
Gain a solid understanding of basic to advanced canine genetics, learn to identify genetic traits and diseases in dogs, and apply this knowledge in practical scenarios.
This course exceeded my expectations! I was amazed how the lecturers managed to convey such a large amount of specific, complex scientific information in the short period of the course, not only presenting it in an understandable manner for the audience but also successfully relating it to its practical application. Exceptional professionalism!

How will you study?
We want to motivate you to gain your full potential when enrolling on the course.
We will meet weekly at the live sessions on Zoom. In case of your absence—due to your busy schedule or time zone differences—you will have access to the recordings. You can rewatch it anytime and as many times as you want.
You will also receive a brief glossary comprising each lesson’s necessary terms and concepts.
Each live session will have a Q&A section where you can ask whatever is unclear. Furthermore, you can join the self-study Facebook group as well.
The Canine Genetics Course has been an invaluable learning experience, giving me a solid foundation and further understanding of canine genetics. It’s most definitely worth every minute and every cent! I genuinely recommend it to any breeder or dog enthusiast who wants to understand the importance of genetics and the way it works!

Genetics in English?
If English is not your mother tongue, it may look scary to learn genetics in English. But do not worry!
Your lecturer will make sure she uses thorough explanations so it will not be that difficult to follow the presentation.
You will have the chance to build up your specific vocabulary based on the glossary, too. And to be honest, special terms could also be slightly challenging for native English speakers!
Furthermore, you can technically enable the automatic subtitles and translations in Zoom. Certainly, they will not be 100% accurate, but they can guide you throughout the 14 weeks.
This was a wonderful on point genetics course. I learned so much and the material was presented in an easy to understand and enjoyable way. Looking forward to more courses!
