What is the OT opinion and experience on these?
How accurate are they?
The reason I ask, I'm setting up betting odds among the family for the various breeds that may come back.

I’ve generally tested negative.

Dog DNA Tests
Just throw some money out of your window while driving down the highway. You'll get the same amount of worth out of it.

What if your dog tests negative for DNA?

If you spend money on this, your dog will be relieved to find out that he's actually not related to you.

We have rescue dogs and are doing this out of curiosity. Have no idea how long it will take to get the results back but we plan to get the test sent off this week.

Must be over 10%-
Whippet- 1:1.5
Greyhound- 1:1.5
Boxer- 1:2
Pit Bull- 1:2
German Shep- 1:2
Black Lab- 1:3
Any other lab- 1:3
Any pointer- 1:5
Carolina Black Dog- 1:4

I paid for a 100% chocolate lab, best dog ever. 16 years later I find out she’s 75% lab and 25% German Shepard

Unless you want to find out your dog is a serial killer I would avoid it.

So are you the father or what ?

Our dog looked like some kind of Doberman mix, only slightly smaller. I was worried the results would show something crazy like a Pit Bull / Dachshund mix.
Instead, it was mostly Black Lab and German Shepherd with a couple of terriers mixed in. Plus, about 10% Pit Bull. Unfortunately, it’s very common for rescues and mixes to have some Pit blood.

Embark is considered the more reliable option for breed test. Just know they can only identify breeds in the last few generations...that's how all these merle Frenchies and poodles etc test purebred despite it being clear that someone lied somewhere along the way.

I do not need a DNA test on my Lab, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that bitch has some Chesapeake in her 'cause part of her early training gear consisted of a 2X4. Hardheaded as hell like ALL Chessies...and has the drive of ALL Chessies and the temperament of a Lab. She also has the sense of humor of a Lab and thinks farting in a duck blind is the height of hilarity and is pretty good at making scathing remarks about one's shooting ability, duck calling, choice of biscuit of a morning...she is a fricking laugh riot in a duck blind, the hard headed bitch. All in all no one I would prefer to spend a morning in a blind with, although I could do without the farting....

I thought it was interesting but not very useful information. My dog is a bit bigger than I was expecting and it's because he's only about 75% pure, so that's nice to know and be aware of. He also got a green check when it comes to health/disease potential. I suppose if he was susceptible to certain conditions it would be good to be aware of to monitor it.
It feels more for entertainment/information purposes than being super useful, but I do plan to do it for my next one too.

I thought about doing this, or maybe the thing where I pay $50 to have a dog named after me. I hear you can also have your dog entitled as a real Scottish lord's hunting dog.

The "science" says this dog is 30% pit bull, 10 % Staffordshire [fancy word for pit bull], so 40% pit bull.
20% "we don't know".
Some Chow, Boxer, and Cattle dog.
This is a cross between a whippet and a mountain cur. The science is wrong.
