Worked Great For Us

Worked Great For Us
We did three of our dogs. All three of these dogs came of the streets of Houston, TX. They were all unhealthily and had heart worms except the big one. The big one lived on the streets untouched by humans for at least 6 months. That said we had no idea what kind of dogs (it really makes no difference as far as we love them goes).We knew the one was part Pug based on the color wrinkled face ect. but had no idea the other part She is part Feist which perfectly explains behavior and general attitude perfectly.The 14 year old terrier mix came back cain terrier as the largest amount which was already guessed by vet etc but was still good to get all the other breeds mixed because there is a few.The Large dog which people always said she was a pit mix. My doubts about that is she is larger than pit pulls and loves water to swim and play in. Her chip (yes she had a chip) American Bulldog. Her results Dogue de Bordeaux which I never heard of and lesser extent Bull Mastiff and Old English Bulldog. Makes perfect sense as she is 75 to 80 lbs small for Dogue de Bordeaux but the other breeds in her and the fact that much of her early life was on the street and lack of nutrition. I think the test were very accurate and recommend this product.

1.0 out of 5 stars its just so they can look at your dog and see what it looks like opposed to performing any actual DNA tests
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2018
This is a complete scam, avoid this company at all costs and I would have marked the product 0 stars if that was possible. When we first received the DNA kit, I immediately noticed that you have to include a picture of the dog in order for it to be completed or they would not process the DNA test. They claim that they have this in order to place a picture on the DNA certificate but in reality, its just so they can look at your dog and see what it looks like opposed to performing any actual DNA tests. We purchased two kits, one for our Chow Chow which I included an actual picture of her and the other for a miniature poodle mix, which I included a picture of a wild boar head that I shot last year. The second picture is clearly a boar head that has been stuffed and mounted. As suspected, the DNA test came back that the poodle mix was a combination of a Labrador retriever as well as a Chesapeake Bay Retriever..... The poodle mix is 6 pounds total weight and all these people do is look at the picture of your dog where no DNA test is performed. I cant believe they would even process this as they did, as the picture is obviously not a dog.......AVOID THIS COMPANY/PRODUCT Here are the pictures which speak for themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars So Cool!
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2017
I have been wanting to DNA test my sweet rescue mutt for a few years now. She came to me as an emergency foster when she was an approximately 6 month old puppy. She was an emergency rescue from imminent danger with no history at all on her. She was my first foster fail with my rescue organization. I was pleased with the results of the DNA analysis. "Pit Bull" is such a broad, blanket term, and I wanted to find out why she is a very petite 48lbs with a slim body. I think that the negative reviews on this product are from those who have been duped by backyard breeders and are either in denial, or sore to find out that their pooch is not 100% pure in it's breed composition. News flash: backyard breeders are only in it for the money - of course they lie. Rescue your next best friend instead!
