I don't know if my dog is mixed or purebred. That's why I want a DNA kit. Why do I have to choose either mixed breed, purebred, or designer?

This test does not required for you to pre- select your dogs breed. Simply swab and mail in and they will provide the results for you.
Does this give a breed breakdown when it is determined to be all &/or part mixed breed?

Wisdom Panel breaks down a dog’s lineage in the form of an ancestry tree. This allows you to see which breeds are present at the parent, grandparent, and great-grandparent levels. Keep in mind that a parent contributes 50% of their DNA to the puppy, while a grandparent contributes about 25% and great-grandparent approximately 12.5%. If a purebred is not present, you will see a mixed breed tag or the ancestral group symbol in its place.
After purchasing the kit, besides mailing, how much does it cost to have done?

There is no additional fee. The pre-paid shipping label has already been placed on the carton so you simply seal and place with the outgoing mail. You'll be able to see your report online in approximately 2-3 weeks.
Does this test only pick up traces of purebred breeds? Like if my dog is mixed and her parents and grandparents are all mixed, will the whole test come back just as "mixed breed"?

Not only does the computer analyze a dog's DNA for the ancestral breeds and their likely proportions in the dog's ancestry, but it also models which side of the dog's tree each breed likely belongs to (bearing in mind, we cannot ascertain which side is the mother, and which side is the father.) It is important to note that there may be ancestors who were mixed beyond the third generation; these ancestors will show as "Breed Groups" on the ancestral tree. In the case of ancestors who were too mixed to possess any recently pure breeds, we can still be fairly certain about the breed groups that are present there. Those breed groups can be seen on the "Breed Groups" page of your report.
