Wisdom Panel 3.0 Breed Identification Dog DNA Test Kit

We just adopted our new furbaby from our local humane society yesterday and he came with DNA test results using Wisdom Panel! We only knew he was a 10 years young Chow Chow mix going in. Upon meeting him I recognized the german shepherd tail and come to find out they do testing on all their dogs so you know exactly what they're a mix of, along with their lineage! Sure enough, he's 25% Chow Chow, 25% German Shepherd then 12.5% each of White Swiss Shepherd, Doberman Pinscher, French Bulldog and Akita. We are now looking forward to purchasing this kit to test our other adopted furbaby to see what other breeds he's a mix of!

We recently adopted a dog from a meat farm in South Korea. (The fawn colored dog in my photo). The shelter that saved her listed her as a Jindo mix. While she looks very much like a Jindo we were curious so we purchased the Wisdom Panel Test. It was easy to use and the results came in about two weeks later. She was 75% Jindo (no surprise) and 20% Shar-Pai. It even broke down further saying she was 3% Akita and 2% coyote (although I find that very difficult to believe as coyotes are North American). In any case it was a fun experience and gave us some insight to our new family member!!

I would ignore all the negative reviews. Some people don't understand how genetics work. I bought this back in December 2019 for my supposed Chorkie (Chihuahua/Yorkie), but actually wound up using it on my boyfriend's dog. He had seen the parents, which were supposed to be Pitbull and a German Shepherd, but for his size I figured there was something else in there and I was right. He's 50% American Staffordshire Terrier (Pitbull), 12.5% German Shepherd, 12.5% Labrador Retriever, 12.5% Saint Bernard and 12.5% Breed group(s) consisting of Asian Group, Middle Eastern/African, Sporting Group & Terrier. They guessed his ideal weight of being between 53-86 lbs, but he is 95 lbs and not overweight at I would ignore all the negative reviews. Some people don't understand how genetics work.

They guessed his ideal weight of being between 53-86 lbs, but he is 95 lbs and not overweight at all, which I would account for the Saint Bernard in him. The breed groups they picked up on, I guess are so mixed in the great grandparent's side on his daddy's side that they could only pick up on the breed groups. So, even if there is terrier in his genetics, it's not much. I definitely recommend and now the mystery is solved as to why Bane is so HUGE! … more

This was really fun. We knew our pup's mom was pure bred German Shepard, but didn't know who the dad was. Wisdom Panel got the German Shepard lineage correct! If you are looking for a general idea of who your pup is, this is a great tool. It does not provide health and allergy information like some tests do, but you can look up breed top health concerns to find out!

I 100% recommend to get ANY other DNA test that you can find that is not this one if you have any mixed type of dog. They clearly couldn’t figure out what my dog was and they told me he was 12% of 12+ different types of popular dogs (they used “breed groups” for 25% of the results, each group had 4 or more breeds in it). Only 2 of which look even remotely like my dog. Huge disappointment and waste of money.

We were very excited to find out what our rescue pup was and decided on wisdom panel 3.0, as the reviews were mostly great. The results did come back quickly however we got 50% american staffy and 50% guard breed. That was it. Having had staffies in the past my husband is very familiar with the breed and there is no way her make up is 50% staffy. Maybe a small percentage, (if that) but definitely not half. And then we get guard breed with 3 different types she could possibly be, with several different breeds within those groups. I am disappointed and would suggest people go to their vet and have them do the testing as it would be more accurate.

I adopted a rescue, I knew the mothers breed, there were 5 siblings. I knew the dominant breed but wanted to know what she was mixed with as she was so unique. The test came back so far off I could not believe it, and the mother of the litters breed was not even mentioned on the panel results. I have an 18lb dog and the results said she was part pit bull, German Shepherd, boxer, are you kidding me??? Very disappointed, I emailed Wisdom and they were not willing to offer to pay for a retake and stood by there results, did not take any responsibility for the total error here. Will not recommend this for $80 not worth the disappointment.

We were really excited to find out the genetic makeup of our dog, Archie. We did this with our last dog (using a different company/test) and it explained so much about his behavior and breeds. Unfortunately, 37.5% of Archie’s makeup came back as potential groups of breeds, including companion, terrier, sporting, and herding - with myriad breeds represented in each. The breeds that were specifically matched were represented in these categories as well, rendering the results even more dubious. Archie is a lean 18 lb. dog, and yet 62.5% of the results returned are for dogs well under 10 lbs. So, after an expensive test, we still have no idea what contributed to his size.

We weren't sure about this as many people. Turns out the test was pretty accurate. The people giving away Lady as a pup said she was a rottie mix with a great dane grandaddy. We never believed that since Lady is 38lbs! Very small. But turns out maybe they were right. The wait time was long, almost a month, but i think it was worth it. We also didn't get any of that "mixed breed" stuff which was nice. We will see how the second dog goes.

When I called Wisdom to find out why my dog’s DNA was broken down just 50% by breed, and the other 50% was only broken down to groups, wherein it’s anyone’s guess as to breed, I found out that I did not receive their newest version which breaks down 100%. Chewy must have older versions laying around in stock and that is what I was sold. Had I purchased directly from the manufacturer, I would have received the updated version. Very disappointed that I did not get the full DNA breakdown of my dog. This item was not cheap. Don’t waste your money getting it from Chewy.
