DNA My Dog Breed Identification DNA Test for Dogs

I recently adopted 2 rescue pups and like everyone else, wanted to know the breed(s) and age of each. This product appeared to be simple to use and affordable. So I placed the order for both test for both pups. I added the additional shipping fee for speedier delivery. The test kits arrived quickly. I carefully followed all of the instructions for registering each kit and taking the swabs. After I registered both and sent them off, I realized that one test indicated that it was for age only, even though my paperwork indicated it would be for breed and age. I called the only number posted, in Canada, to try to sort it out. Since they are basically only the lab for the company, they told I recently adopted 2 rescue pups and like everyone else, wanted to know the breed(s) and age of each.

I called the only number posted, in Canada, to try to sort it out. Since they are basically only the lab for the company, they told me that I needed to call the NY office to get this corrected. They provided the phone number. I called NY and the assured me that I would get both tests for both dogs. Their site still showed that it would be only the age test so I was concerned. I called again several times, on hold for 15 minutes each time and then it disconnected. I sent several emails to all the email addressed that were available and received a response only at the beginning of my concerns. Then the emails were ignored. In the end, I just received the results today and as expected, the one dog was only the age test. Then the breed report of the other pup was completely wrong. Her dominant breed is Yorkie, and that was not even listed. Just save your money and do not get this kit! I cannot stress this enough. I give it ZERO stars. … more

I have a three year old genuine American Bully (champion bloodline) that I have had since he was seven weeks old. Although my dog is a pure Bully, and I know his bloodline and relatives, American Bullies were created by mixing multiple pitbull and bulldog breeds. I was curious to know what % of what breeds my American Bully is. They all differ. The results came back as 100% American Staffordshire Terrier, which is impossible. Yes, he looks predominantly Am Staff, but he is shorter, stalkier and obviously mixed with one or more bulldog breeds. Disappointed. Their app and website is very generic and not informative, either.

This test was reasonably priced compared to other brands. The results were received quickly - around 2 weeks. The associated App allowed me to check the status of the test conveniently. The % ranges of the results left me wanting for more information. Customer Service was able to supply the exact percentages after inquiry.

Total waste of money. My 8 M., 66 lb, short haired , rust colored dog, came back --.#3 Shetland sheep dog, yorkie, king charles, great pyrenees, all long haired dogs , lol.. 2nd try said those were correct added level#4 golden retriever, parson Jack Russel , cane corso( the closes to my dog)the Chewy is good, but this DNA test out of Canada is a waste.

We bought this for our 115lb dog. When we picked him up we were told he was a German/Golden mix with a bunch of other breeds in him. We followed the instructions directly how they instructed and sent in the samples. The results came back as a Brittany, Great Dane and Bulldog.. We contested the results and they ran a second sample.. this time they added in another breed, a boxer.. so fed up, we went to our vet and got a blood test. The results came back as a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Great Pyrenees, Rottweiler, Labrador and American Staffordshire terrier. Those results are a lot more believable.. I would not even spend the money or time on this one and just go to your vet! Here is our We bought this for our 115lb dog.

My dog was a rescue and I wanted to find out the exact breed(s) that my dog is made up of. This test was super easy to use with detailed instructions. The process was super fast. I am glad I used this product to find out what my dog is!

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.

I was soooooo excited to send in our DNA swabs. The dog on the left in the blue sweater is Wilbur. He weighs 95lbs, and has the personality of a passive-aggressive mastiff of some sort. The testing website requests an optional pic of your pup “prior” to providing results, but I held off on that, with the intent of having the purest results possible. Well, the results say that he is 40-60% “border collie,” mixed in with Staffordshire Terrier (okay on that), and “whippet?” Border collie and whippet? Really? Did I mention he weighs 95lbs and has a head the size of a basketball? I’m sorry…I grew up on a working horse ranch, and not only did we have border collies, but we relied on DNA and genetics I was soooooo excited to send in our DNA swabs.

I realize that dogs are the most diverse species on the planet; however 40-60% of a single breed — they said it’s common for one parent to be purebred — would most definitely show some physical characteristics, and some very breed-specific working dog instinctual behaviors as well. I emailed the company to ask if they may have accidentally mixed our sample up with another sample. I bought mine on sale for $50 directly from their website, and for two dogs. So, I’m out $100. I really wish it had been accurate and legitimate. It’s sad that things like this aren’t really regulated to say, “for entertainment purposes only” or something. $100 is a lot of money. … more

I am the foster parent of the dog I had DNA tested. Because all three of the shelters and the rescue group that previously had custody of her were all convinced that she was a Manchester Terrier or at least a Manchester Terrier mix, my curiosity was piqued. I personally thought that she was part Rat Terrier, Basenji and possibly Dachshund. Her actual breed makeup is intriguing. As a former breeder an avid dog show handler, I am fairly versed in many breeds as well as their general temperaments and proclivities. My foster dog does display breed traits (both physical and temperament wise) that match up with each of the breeds that the DNA test revealed, even though they were not remotely what I am the foster parent of the dog I had DNA tested.

This test was easy to do, just rub que tips they provide on both side of cheeks. Let them dry in open envelope for 25 minutes, seal up envelope and mail it off postage paid. Results came back quickly
