Okay
The kit was fine and easy to use. The website, not so much. It kept trying to upsell and was confusing. I really only wanted the basic kit and had to keep reviewing the purchase.

AKC Parental DNA
Fast quick shipping to Canada. I bred my girl to a Canadian boy, didn’t realize this was a more involved process to register the litter. But hoping to see results so I can get the pups with their new humans and not have a delay in registrations.
