re: Apparently consumer DNA testing kits are complete BS

we have three dogs...a terrier, a bloodhound and a mutt.
wife wanted to know what the mutt was so she gets one of these pet DNA kits, and does the saliva swab and sends it in

a month later the results come back...miraculously our mutt is part terrier/part bloodhound, part whatever. wife is thrilled that the mutt is somehow "related" to the others until i point to the communal water bowl on the floor
