Wisdom Panel 3.0 Breed Identification Dog DNA Test Kit

From the moment we got the package in the mail and began the process of gathering DNA on our dog, we were excited to know a little bit about her. She was a stray when we adopted her and even the vet didn't want to guess at her background except "she is 100% mutt... probably generations of mutt." When we received her report, we weren't surprised to find that she had multiple breeds in her. The only surprise we found was in detailing her lineage and characteristics on the breeds, the description of what to expect from the breed was completely accurate. It has helped us see that her "issues" are not nurture but nature. All this has helped us with training (her and us) and to be more aware of things From the moment we got the package in the mail and began the process of gathering DNA on our dog, we were excited to know a little bit about her.

The good news is that we got the results on our 1 year old rescue dog quickly. The bad news is that this FULLY GROWN 30 pound dog was determined to be 25% Shar Pei, 12.5% Rottweiler, 12.5% Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull), 12.5% Lab, and 37.5% Working, Herding, or Hound. She was also expected by Wisdom Panel to be 60-80 lbs. Her markings, size and personality fit with terrier or working group, maybe Dachsund, but her size and overall characteristics don't match Wisdom's profile for her. A bit disappointing.

I purchased this after getting a new puppy from the shelter and wondering what she was mixed with other than Australian Cattle Dog (the mom's breed). Just received results and my pup is 30% Cattle Dog and 70% who the heck knows. They list breed "groups" that your dog could be which have anywhere from 10 - 20 breeds in each one. My dog lists about 6 groups she might be in, so basically I learned nothing and wasted a bunch of money. I would find another DNA test if you want specific results!

Was very happy with the results of the Wisdom Panel. Sent it in during the Christmas holiday and from in the mail until result email was 2 and a half weeks. All they ask is name of your furry friend and date of birth. Was spot on. We knew Luna was border collie but was curious if she was mixed with something because she is mostly white. Came back she was 80% border collie 20% collie :) only got it because of Black Friday deal for 20$ bucks- super happy with that, I’d spend the money even at 70$ if I had a dog that was mixed with more then 2 breeds.

Most people think 'Corgi' when they meet my dog (see pics), and ask 'What else is she?' I was initially aghast when the Wisdom Panel results came back "50% Chihuahua, 12.5% Chow Chow, 12.5% Shetland Sheepdog, and 25% unspecified "sporting/herding/hound" mix. Not a trace of Corgi! But I had noticed that her large, pointy ears most closely resembled the ears of a Chihuahua and that her lip curl when encroached upon too aggressively by other dogs also suggested Chihuahua. I had wondered about the loose rolls of skin at the base of her neck; a touch of Chow Chow might account for that. I found some pics of Chihuahua mixes with larger breeds - especially with Pitbulls - that looked similar to Most people think 'Corgi' when they meet my dog (see pics), and ask 'What else is she?'

So, on second thought, I think Wisdom is probably spot on, and I'm beginning to see Chihuahua when I look at her! She's a wonderful dog, regardless, but I am happy to have this new information about her possible ancestry. … more

We got Eli from a shelter about 6 months ago, they said they thought he was about 2 years old when we got him, and we only had guesses for his breed mix. Turns out he is a little bit of all those guesses, with a little surprise chow-chow. 75% was broken down into 4 breeds. 25% American Staffordshire Terrier, 25% Labrador Retriever, 12.5% German Shepherd, and 12.5% Chow Chow. The last 25% was only Breed Groups with several possibilities.

Got this on Black Friday sale for our new rescue pup. I can somewhat attest to its accuracy, as it was correct in determining he was half Boston Terrier (we met his mother). The other half was slightly disappointing, as the test was only able to determine that he was another quarter lab. The other 25% was listed as possibly several different dog breed groups. In the end, it did little to satisfy our curiosity and indicate how big he would get at full size.

Decided to get a DNA test for my rescue dog , results came back .. American Staffordshire Terrier(which I knew) Chow chow and golden retriever and the rest was different group breeds . I’m sorry but there’s no way in heck he has chow or golden in him ! He’s got black spots all over and hair nothing like those breeds ..

This kit was affordable and the results came quickly. It was fun to get the surprising results, never thought he was a beagle! We didn't expect our rescue dog to be purebred, of course, but did expect he'd be more of the breeds suggested by the rescue group (Border Collie and Great Pyr). We just did the DNA for fun since people always ask us what breed he is. It's nice to have the list of breeds with pictures to check out on the Wisdom site.

Ava is our 3 year old rescue mutt that we’ve had since she was 9 weeks old. She was dropped off in a box at the local shelter with two of her siblings and that’s all the information that we could ever get on her. Her markings and personality have always been so unique and since her adoption everyone has always asked us what kind of dog she is. Even her veterinarians couldn’t place her. We had a coupon for Chewy and decided to finally lay our curiosities to rest. We read the reviews for Wisdom panel and decided it was the best option. We had a good feeling that she was in the pit bull family and boxer, but 25% Siberian Husky through us for a loop!

But it was the puzzle piece that through our suspicions together because just boxer and American pit bull (Staffordshire Terrier) still didn’t seem to capture her fully. Finally we can answer the question of “what kind of dog is that?” with certainty. I 100% percent recommend this test for anyone with a rescue who wants to know more about their fur baby. … more
