The results were ridiculous: level 1 - 0, level 2 - german sherperd, level 3 retriever, level 4 - english setter, level 5 - greyhound. We complained and received a second kit. The results: level 1 - 0, level 2 - german shepherd, level 3 - english setter, level 4 - retriever & pomeranian, level 5 - husky. Whereas this would be acceptable for most average sized mutts, it is obviously not for my dog.

The fee was reasonable, it took a little longer than two weeks for the final results, but I was in constant contact with them and they were quite helpful. I think there is a bit of "doubt" because we have no way to prove the results are 100%.... I probably will have it done again by another DNA agency and compare results. Our dog is such a mix and having adopted him from a pet rescue, with no history it has been a guessing game; whereas other dog owners who have fewer "ancestors" might be more accepting of the results. Will keep you posted..... We were quite happy, but surprised at the results, using DNA my dog.

It is only $60 and we have been very pleased. I recommend it to anyone who is curious or confused about the breeds of their pup. Also, their certificare they send back is beautiful.

I work at a large vet clinic and we get this question all the time. Having done over 100 dogs using these tests I would also check out DNA Diagnostics Center. http://www.vetdnacenter.com We have found them to be very accurate and reasonably priced at $60...and they just need a cheek swab sample so you can collect the sample yourself at home.
