Rudy's ancestry contains some Lhasa Apso and also includes distant traces of Newfoundland, Cocker Spaniel and Keeshond.

Lhasa Apso? Really? OK ...

No not fun. Waste of money. No matter what hype which company has.. None of them can predict what your dog or anyone elses dog is. Many people have gotten their purebred, papered champions tested to be told they are some ridiculous mix. They do not work.

Dekka is a forensic biotechnologist going back to school to become a geneticist. She just went to bed, but this is part of a post of hers.

CODIS uses 13 loci to make profiles for criminals) to a database. Your results are only as good as your data base. The problem is none of them have good enough databases at this time I doubt they ever will.

So your dog's profile is run through a program and it picks which breeds have similar profiles. Problem is that the computer has to pick. Its like being told to pick a ball.. you pick blue. Then you are asked is it red or yellow. You must answer.. no matter what you pick it won't be accurate.

Buddy'sParents on chaz got Buddy tested. Large black dog came back as part Maltese.

Oh my god, that dog is adorable. I loved the thumping tail throughout.

I got one of the tests for my friend for her birthday one year (same company as the one used on Buddy), and ironically, her dog pictured below is ALSO part maltese. There must be some large, mutant maltese running around, procreating around the country. He must be found and stopped.

Ive always wondered how acurate these tests are i mean what if you tested your purebreed dog just for fun what kind of breeds would they throw at you.
