December 20, 20169 yr I have a rescue dos that I got last Christmas. He is about 1 1/2 year old puppy. 55 pounds the day I bought him and the same now. He is a mixed Boxer they say, but I am not sure. It really doesn't matter, I love the little(big) guy anyway. I have been reading about doing the Doggie DNA and seeing what he might be a mix of. It seems to cost about 80-100 bucks which I will do, if it is reliable. The reviews are all over the place. Has anyone done them or know anyone that has and their reliability?

No , I'm sorry I haven't , but maybe write to Maury Povich. He seems to be helpful in these matters.
December 20, 20169 yr Author No I haven't , but I'd say write to Maury Povich and see if he can help. Nah, don't care who the father is as much as the breed. The father is probably mixed also. Thanks a bunch, though, you are so helpful.

December 20, 20169 yr Author Where does one buy these kits at? Pet stores, on line, probably other places. They really do have them and I have talked to two people that have done it, although I don't know them that well. Just talking to them at the Dog Park while letting the big boy get the vigor out. They both said it gave them a good idea, but they were not sure of the reliability. I am just curious, that's all. Might be fun to know. These things interest me. I don't understand that universe stuff you guys talk about. Dogs are barely my speed.

I'll have to ask her what she knows. Thanks for sharing.
December 20, 20169 yr Author One of the people I talked to had so many breed mixes that they did not think there was a dominant one. I am continuing to train Scotch and we are to the the point in the process where knowing the breed might help with the one issue he has left to break.

December 20, 20169 yr I had my dog's DNA tested about 6 weeks ago. Seemed to get reasonable and useful results. She he is a golden sheltamoskie...golden retriever, sheltie, American Eskimo dog and Siberian huskie. My girl does love the snow!
December 20, 20169 yr While I don't have a pooch, I did I try one of these doggie DNA kits thingys on myself today. Turns out I'm just what you might think -- a dirty old liberal bastard.
December 20, 20169 yr Author How many people viewed this thread because all you can see in the thread listing is "Has Anyone Tried the Doggie" Now that's funny.
December 20, 20169 yr My brother and sister-in-law had a DNA test done on their dog to prove that he's not from one of the dog breeds on "the list" in order to lower their homeowner's insurance. I believe they were suspect that he had Akita or German Shepherd in him, but he turned out to be a Lab/Golden/Greater Swiss Mountain Dog mix, just like the seller told them.
December 20, 20169 yr Interesting. My homeowners insurance has never asked me if I have a dog. :idunno:
