DNA My Dog Breed Identification DNA Test for Dogs

Having adopted a rescue from a shelter 5 years ago, I have never been sure of my dog's breed and I was always curious about her temperament. She was identified to me as an Australian Shepherd and had many associated markings. Clearly though she was a mix. Because of her unique personality, usually sweet, but sometimes on the aggressive side around certain other animals, I decided to take my neighbor's recommendation and have her DNA tested. The test was easy to administer and I was simply amazed at the timely and accurate results. While my Sissy is mostly an Australian Shepherd, three other breeds were identified in her genetic makeup. The characteristics of each breed come through loud Having adopted a rescue from a shelter 5 years ago, I have never been sure of my dog's breed and I was always curious about her temperament.

The characteristics of each breed come through loud and clear and now her personality makes total sense to me. I am thrilled to have used these services and I am confident you will be thrilled as well. … more

I don't think this test is as accurate as they say it is. I had both my dogs (litter mates) DNA tested because I wasn't sure what dad was fully (chance he's a mix), so I was curious and took the test. Results didn't even have any of mom's DNA show up and I have Papers on her and all of her genetics. When I emailed them back, they said tests are accurate, but I disagree. All in all, I will be buying a different test because these results aren't correct. You can see just by looking at my dogs that they have incorrectly identified them.

I have had Joey for 9 1/2 years. He was a rescue so only guesses could be made at his mix. Our vet told us most likely a lab, Catahoula mix based on his size and unique markings. Over the years I have been trying to figure out what else he is mixed with based on his behaviors not fitting the breeds he was thought to be. I finally bit the bullet and ordered a test. The results were back less than a week after they received his sample. I was pleasantly surprised to find out my lab/Catahoula mix is in fact a Great Dane, Collie, Australian Cattle Dog Mix! I was shocked and pleasantly surprised. The Dane explains his size and herding breeds explains his behaviors. Now when people ask what he is I I have had Joey for 9 1/2 years.

Please don’t waste your money. I had them do a DNA on my dog. You don’t get much and they wanted a full body picture. Why? You have her DNA. I doubted the results and told them so. So I had it redone by Wisdom. I sent no picture or mention of suspected breed. When it came back only her main breed was the same as DNA my dog. They gave 13 breeds found in her DNA, gave probable linage, and gave probable coat color and texture, eye color, type of ears and snout. It was so accurate except for snout. I sent them a picture afterwards. Use Wisdom if you really want to know. I am going to have my other rescue dog done by Wisdom and I won’t give picture or suspected breed.

The test was easy enough to do, despite our dog not liking us sticking something in her mouth. The results took a couple weeks to get done, but I loved being able to check on the phone app for updates. The free app is one of the best parts about this test: I could add our dog's picture to the database to show others, and they have personality information on each breed of dog! We thought our rescue dog was a collie/bernese mountain dog mix, turns out she's an australian shepherd/german shepherd mix with a small percentage of golden retriever and another small something breed. Which we can now definitely see in her. So cool!

We recently adopted a rescue. The rescue organization listed her as a chihuahua! Didn't seem right, so we decided to use DNA My Dog to find out for sure...and we're so glad we did. The test was easy to use and within two weeks we had our full report. Our new pup is a Stafforshire Bull Terrier/Jack Russell mix! In addition to solving the breed mystery, the report provided very useful medical information on her breeds. Take this test...you'll be glad you did!

Was quite excited to receive my DNA My Dog test. The process was easy to use, with only a minor annoyance for the dog, and results came between one and two weeks. The customer service was exceptional, helpful and patient when I had trouble downloading my Betty's picture...they actually did it for me. My little girl (tagged by the Humane Society as a German Shepherd x Cattle Dog) is actually a Chioodletzu (Chihuahua x Poodle x Shih Tzu). I highly recommend DNA testing your dog...so much fun.

Wasn’t aware that chewy offered this test so I had ordered from a different site,(paid too much, definitely should have used chewy) but the test was lost in the mail, as soon as I contacted the DNAMyDog guys they rush shipped a new test. A Great look into our puppy’s origins, 10/10 recommended for mixed breed dogs

This test was so easy to use. Just a quick swab of the cheek/gum of the dog. We mailed in the swab and got email confirmation they received it. Within 2 weeks they provide emailed results. Ours came back within a week. The company communications were always courteous and the results were explained well. Recommended this test to my friend for her 2 dogs. Great company!

I used DNA My Dog to find out what breeds my Puerto Rican Street Dog is. The test was very easy to do and the results came back real quick. The documentation is easy to understand and the test results come with a Certificate. Pretty Cool. Carly is 1/3 each Jack Russell, Cocker Spaniel and Beagle.
