DNA testing on dog poo...
this is a serious post 
i am due to start a dog **** war with a neighbour and wondered if i can prove the poo is coming from a their dog. the dog no longer has access to my garden,(every entrance blocked) so the **** if being thrown over. the poo's in question are bigger than my dog!!
i have had a mahoosive argument with the neighbour and its coming to blows. just wondered if i can prove this one way or the other

Perhaps you need to watch a little less CSI on telly
Why not try CCTV to catch them at it, even if it is their dog you would need to prove they did it, cctv footage would be the proof one way or the other.
cheap systems about these days.
falling out with neighbours is never a good idea, these days you will need to disclose any disputes when you sell, failure to and a problem arises could cost you £££££. Besides that, you have to live there and a bad atmosphere is not healthy.

another vote for CCTV. You could start with a permanently recording webcam that is just attached to your PC. Discreetly placed it may yield the results you want.
I'd not advocate the full on massive CCTV camera with IR beams blasting over into their garden as the first stage. That may just cause more hassle than it sorts.

It is possible to get the poo DNA tested but under current EU legislation, the dog in question has to voluntarily submit to a stool sample under vet supervision.
I hope for your sake that it's not a German Shepherd as they know their rights and are notoriously uncooperative when it comes to things like this
Oh right.......you were serious

lol at you lot 
the CCTV isnt going to work as my garden is big and surrounded by trees so they wont be seen.
i was thinking that i could get a sample of DNA from the dogs water bowl and a poo sample and hey presto
dont know if i can do it over the internet the same as you do for paternity testing
if i cant do that then i might throw it back so it lands near the roof window of their conservatory

I would stick with the CSI route and examine the splatter direction of the poo, this will give you the direction that it came from. By analysing the poo circumference(sp?) and ridgidity you can estimate the height that it has dropped from. This will tell you whether it came from your neighbours or your neighbours neighbours with an almighty fling.

Yes, you can get DNA from poo. The bad news is that normal profiling doesn't work, and you have to use LCN, which will set you back about £2500 per sample. And no, that's not a typo. Could be worse - it used to need mitochondrial which is a grand more than that.

Why not just ignore it for a while, but collect all the ****.. If it 'mysteriously' stops because your neighbour gets bored then go and dump the collected tuddies on her (I assume its a woman because blokes arent so bloody petty) drive way.

this happened last year with their dog getting into my garden and ripping the fence apart so it could have a dump in my veggy patch. now that i have sealed my garden up they chuck it over. after my rant with the woman of the house i told her i was getting the **** tested so i could take them to court. i wish i hadnt been so hasty now as i cant do much at all.
i have been collecting the **** up in a bucket (half full).........been deciding what to do with it.....any suggestions welcome
