Have any members used these for non specific breed dogs ? Millie is an enigma , described on her Vet records as a Terrier Type , that covers a multitude of sins It would be really interesting to know what she is , I mean apart from being a rather sweet mongrel , I would love to know what she has in her bloodlines . Think we might just do a test , would be an interesting experiment if nothing else
A friend of mine did it with some sort of GSD cross with behaviour issues. Threw up a whole load of breed lines which were difficult for her to see at all in him. I guess if it's just for fun and it's not too pricey it does no harm. Not like it's paternity testing......
They aren't cheap , about £60 for the most popular one . A friend has also said that the one she had done left her feeling a little confused as she had a terrier type which the test said was mainly collie , maybe not then
A friend's 12 year old dog has a cocker spaniel mother (pedigree) and an unknown father. Billy has the shape of a greyhound, but smaller, and the whiskery face of a terrier. Just as well they knew what the mother was as you would never guess from seeing him. Guess I would say to save your money Kate and just keep trying to guess what Millie takes after - I think she's gorgeous as she is
Hi Kate,ive probably spoken to 2 people that have had it done here,they didn't get a lot from it....except a HUGE list of breeds that were involved in their dogs genetics .....
Ok , thanks loves , seems like its not such a good idea after all ,maybe spend the money on a nice meal instead and just accept that Millie is Millie
I have always felt that a "Breed" is what someone decided was correct at a particular point in time. Thus any mongrel can be considered the first of its breed. My last dog, I was reliably informed by the RSPCA was a Labrador Collie cross. She never made it to knee height and I am only 5ft 2 inches tall, she had short smooth hair. We called her "The Struthound" from the way she walked I did wonder if she had been a Corgi cross and that somewhere along the line someone had muddled up Corgi and Collie. If you don't love them for who they are, rather than what they are what is the point?
