Just as a followup...

I found this Test Kit a Sam's for $49.98, bought it, and will let you know what happened.

Have a good Day !

I really wouldn't spend my money on those but that's just me. They are hardly ever accurate.

luvofallhorses,

That may be true, but it depends on how careful one is in collecting the sample for one thing.

May I ask, just how do you know of that accuracy ? (of the lack of)
Have you used this test before, compared it with other Kits ?

No.. but they put breeds that are KNOWINGLY NOT in your dog...

I did a genetic testing on Logan, using a saliva swab.
I already knew she was part German Shephard, and because she "talks/howls" and her ears are long (etc) I thought she may have some beagle in her. I was right. That's what the results were. Also a wee bit of Bernese Mountain Dog and I can see that in her coloring. I thought the test was right on.

My vet offered to do blood work and send it to a lab, but I had already had this test done. It as fun.

Karen,
Any chance of you scanning the report, and showing it to us ?
Also, what test, Insights, who ?

I have it framed and her photo is on it. I promise to detail what they said. Right now, kinda over busy but I promise I will. Nighttime is the only chance I get to myself for a few hours.
