Amazon, and about $65. The vet's office told me $200 though, so it seemed like a bargain.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's amazing to me that they can do that.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I'd be curious to know how accurate those tests are.

Yeah, I'm not convinced this one really was. I'm not going to spend $200 to check though.

They do stress that these are for curiousity's sake, not to back up your lawsuit against the AKC (or whatever). But all you give them is (in my case) the dog's name and age, and a cheek swab.

So I'd says it's reasonably valid. The two breeds they ID'd as dominant for Darby are fairly on target. (Dominant in her case meaning more than 25%/less than 49% of each.)

I mean, there are many other combinations that could end up looking like her, but OTOH she's certainly no Chihuahua, Australian Shepard, Cocker spaniel, Pekingese mix.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I got my Doggy DNA Test at Petco for I don't remember how much, but a low enough number to make it seem like a reasonable impulse buy (which, to be fair, could still be kind of high given how impulsive I can sometimes be, but I think it was less than $100). None of the dogs whose results I know came up as the breeds we thought they were pre-test, but the results did make sense once we knew them.

Rottweiler and miniature schnauzer? That must have been some romance.

I don't know much about chihuahuas. They are filed under "fierce little dogs" in my brain, and Charlie is that! Hey, how are obedience classes going?

Lee, I'd never have guessed that.

Is it wrong that I want to do swab myself and see if they return a dog breed for me?

That's all I gave them too, and I will admit that some of the pictures of the long hair Chihuahuas looked somwhat like Charlie.

HE IS STILL A CORGI TO ME THOUGH

I hope not, because now I want that too.

Pretty good. It turned out to be just us, which kind of defeated the whole socialization idea. The trainer is really cool though.
