The CHIC Databases Explained

Photo by Kristen Suhrenbrock

What’s the difference between a CHIC DNA number and a CHIC certification number? This article explains the two databases and gives detailed instructions on how to get CHIC certification for health-tested dogs.

What’s covered in this article:

  • Information about the CHIC DNA Bank, to which many people have been submitting samples for years.
  • An explanation of the CHIC Certification Program, which historically has not received much attention from many Deerhound owners. However, the time has come for that to change.
  • Step-by-step instructions on how to get both a CHIC Certification number and a CHIC DNA number.

There is also a photo gallery celebrating Deerhounds with CHIC certification numbers.
