Where do you see the trends in veterinary DNA testing projected out 5 years? 10? Will we eventually have designer dogs, custom-tailored via genetic selection?

Do you think that discussions and study of veterinary epigenetics and genetic load carry risks of promoting eugenic-type thinking in regards not only of animals, but humans? If so, how can we continue to address or mitigate these kinds of takeaways?

My family helped found a kibbutz back in the 70s and while my evidence is only anecdotal - none of them have never mentioned any of this. Care to share your sources?

Thanks for the thorough (and great) response!
