Chris Lewis is an expert in dog DNA with a background in forensic science. His journey into canine genetics began as a research assistant in prominent laboratories across the country. As he explored DNA breed profiles, Chris discovered that many pedigrees and purebreds were actually mixed breeds.
Today, Chris shares his life with Toby, a playful Pug/French Bulldog cross. Toby enjoys playing fetch and reminds Chris about their twice-daily walks to the dog park.
Chris has a decade of experience in dog DNA research and fact-checking. His work has taken him across the nation, collaborating with research laboratories to advance canine DNA testing technologies.
In this emerging field, Chris is dedicating more time to DNA testing and related technologies. He believes strongly in the future of this area of science.
Chris approaches his research with a literal and collaborative mindset. He carefully reads, reviews, and fact-checks all information, questioning any ambiguous or incorrect facts. Collaboration is key for Chris, actively consulting with authors to address challenges.
Chris aims to develop universal canine DNA testing standards to ensure consistently accurate results. His passion for canine DNA and ancestry drives his work.
Chris has a fondness for Pugs and French Bulldogs. If he had not pursued laboratory research, he may have explored crime scene investigations.
Chris encourages current and future dog owners to learn about the history and origin of the dog they want to bring home. “Understanding a dog’s ancestry can provide valuable insights into their traits and behavior.”
