Rejected petition Allow DNA to determined a breed of dog under BSL Breed specific legislation

Under BSL Breed specific legislation the UK Government and DEFRA refused to allow DNA to prove a dog is not a banned breed.
We need to change this multiple cross-breed dogs are being classed as dangerous because they look a certain way or are a certain height DNA should count

More details

Allow DNA to determine what breed a dog is so that they are not wrongly classed as a banned breed and possibly seized and euthanised by authorities
DNA should be used to proved alone what breed a dog is and not the way it looks or its height.
DNA should be taken into account when assessing a dangerous dog or putting a dog on a banned breed list as many dangerous dogs are evading the Dangerous Dog Act and many dogs are falling into a category and being wrongly classed.
