I adopted a puppy through the English Springer Spaniel Rescue. He’s a very large blue roan and it was reported that he was a purebred, but I couldn’t help but wonder. Even his vet was convinced that he was mixed with something else. His results came back that he is 100% springer spaniel. I did not upload any photos or provide any information about him prior to receiving my results. This leads me to believe they are accurate!

I like knowing the breeds; it is helpful know general personality traits of the bread when assessing behaviors and approaching training. The first time we used this product was to identify the breeds in an adopted "lab/GSD mix" . We were concerned that he was fearful and would sometimes try to nip guests as they were leaving. Thinking he was GSD had us nervous that he might become aggressive. The test revealed that he is mostly Cattle Dog! Knowing that he is actually mostly Cattle Dog helped me understand the "nipping" was not "aggressive" but rather his way of "herding" the guests on their way. Knowing this helped me understand the "why" of the behavior and build new routines to curb the "herding" instinct. Then recently, used a 2nd test for an adopted "lab-mix". While he does look like a tall, slender version of a black lab, some features just didn't seem "lab". He has a curved whip tail and slightly longer snout and slightly floppier ears... thought maybe the results would come back with some Pointer or Weimaraner. But no - he came back mostly Poodle, Golden Retriever, a touch of GSD and a little Lab and then a whole bunch of miscellaneous. He is all black, with short sleek hair, and not a curl on his body. Would never have guessed that he is essentially a Goldendoodle! Now that the breeds are identified, I can see some of the traits, but it is still a bit baffling.

We were really excited to try this to finally settle the debate on what our pup is that we adopted from an aussie rescue (he is definitely a mix). Sadly it won't even allow us to activate!!!!! What a freaking waste!!!! Are these counterfeit DNA test or what??
