Wisdom Panel 3.0 Breed Identification Dog DNA Test Kit

The initial test came quickly within a day or two. Trying to get the sample proved harder than we anticipated but I think that's more bc we have a 4 month old puppy who doesnt like to sit still very long let alone us stick anything in his mouth that isnt food! Once we got a sample and sent it off we waited exactly 2 weeks until we got results (which was right in the timezone they said so we were happy with that) the results came back as: 25% lab, 13% chesapeake bay retriever, 37% unknown/ mixed breed (!) And 25% chiuahaha. The chiuahaha surprised us as we would have never guessed that due to him having none of the characteristics of that, but as we have nothing else to go off of I would accept The initial test came quickly within a day or two.

What I do have a problem with is the 37% unknown. That's a HUGE percentage. We knew his mom was a lab/lab mix so none of that was surprising but the main reason we got this test was to figure out the rest and we now have more questions than answers. A chihuahua cannot breed with a lab naturally so there HAS to be something else in between or it's not true. Also, he has a half Bob tail, another in his litter has a full bob tail and the other two have full tails so again we're still left with no answers. ALSO, after getting the initial results we decided to pay the extra money to get the genetics results and it came back with exercise enduced collapse. Our vet says that's not a trait in lab, chesapeake bay retriever or in chihuahua so AGAIN we're left with more questions than answers. I want to believe the results I did get are true but with the extra questions and doubt I now have I actually wish I didnt do it. For the amount of money I spent I do not recommend it. … more

I recently rescued a husky in April 2018 and wanted to know more about her heritage. I was pleasantly surprised with some of the results, but most were expected. Conducting the test is easy. (If your pup will let you run a swab around under his/her lip for 20 seconds) My little girl didn't seem to mind it. I got her while she was close to sleeping. The communication throughout the process was good, they let me know when the test was received and that it was "in process." Customer service can be a little slow to respond via email, but I attribute that to volume. Overall, I got the results back in about 4-5 weeks. Very happy and would highly recommend.

We were very pleased with the results from the Wisdom Panel. Although the weight suggestion was too high for our dog, we felt the breeds list was accurate and that's what we were interested in. We had a good idea of what our dog was, but could not explain some quirks. Our results were mostly expected, but some breeds were mentioned which we had not considered before and could help explain some of our dog's uniqueness.

First off, Chewy got this kit to us very, very quickly. Within just a couple of days. The test was easy to use and ship in the pre-paid box. We were surprised to learn our little rescue pug mix is 50% Pug and 50% Japanese Chin. We thought he was part puggle. I highly recommend this test and buying it through Chewy as well!

I am not sure how accurate the results are, but it was sure fun to get the results. I do believe most of the information was fairly accurate and was valuable to know since my dog was adopted from the shelter as a young puppy and they didn't know what breed she was. I was told she would be a small dog under 15 pounds. I ordered the DNA test when my dog was around 4 months old and was over 30 pounds. I can see a lot of the features in her that the results told me about her breeds they uncovered. Most of all though, it was fun and I would recommend buying the test kit if you are considering it.

I have a large (85+ pound), white, long haired dog with a very distinct head shape. The prior owners said he was a Golden/Great Pyrenees, which is exactly what he looks like. The wisdom panel said 25% American Eskimo (no more than 40 pounds), 25% German Shepherd (coloring all wrong), 12.5% chow (No resemblance) 12.5% Shetland sheep dog ( no resemblance), and 25% mixed breed (gee, thanks for the specificity). What??? There is no way. Don't waste your money. Get a blood test.

I’m going to do the Embark test and compare results. We have a mixed breed, the shelter assumed he was a border collie. Our results came back vague at best because he’s such a mish mosh of dogs. He’s 50% super mutt, 25% staffordshire terrior, 12.5 shiba inu, 12.5 beagle according to this test. In the 50% was a list of all the dogs he could be mixed with, which was a long list of basically every dog (except a border collie). I thought this would be a little more conclusive than just listing basically every dog except herding breeds. A little disappointed.

I got this kit a few weeks ago but I didn't have the chance to open it until last week. To use it was quite simple, just remember to avoid contact with other dogs or food for a few hours before using it with your dog. The results came earlier than I expected and it was nice to find the mixes of breeds on my dog. He's a fully looking husky, but too big for it's kind, and knowing there is German Shepherd, Alaskan Malamute, Jindo and Samoyed on him made so much sense! Also the clinical side to know what genes could bring a potential threat to his health was very useful. So far happy with the experience.

I rescued a Great Pyrenees and her puppies from the dumpster a while back. I kept one of the puppies and the mama. I did this DNA test on Piper, one of the puppies. It confirmed that mama, Grace, was a Great Pyrenees. I was excited to learn that Piper's dad was a Chinese Shar Pei/ Labrador Retriever/ Unknown... I would have given this five starts but the "breeds group" percentage was pretty vague for how much this costed.

My dog is a rescue and we know that he's mostly Wheaten Terrier based on his coat changes. We've had 2 different vets tell us this, however this test told us he was 84% "Mixed breed". That doesn't help us at all to know what he is. They didn't even tell us Wheaten. I do not recommend this test.
