On that note, scroll down and click on the link for "Video: Meredith finds out Jasper's DNA." http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18037022/ I will refrain from further comment. Once again, a whole lot of BS. That test is a complete waste of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were terrified they'd inherit a whippet's speed with a chow's temperament , but they all turned out with very nice dispositions. Looked sort of like dingoes, though, with brindling.

My sister has a dog that resulted from the breeding of a Schnauzer and a Chihuahua. They called it a Schnahuahua but I thought that was silly, so I renamed them Chiwowzers! So much better.

Shadows Mom Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 My firends breed Bullshits. Britt bulldogs crossed with shitsus, at first it was a joke pairing, they never imagined the two would breed LOL. But now they actually sell the pups for $1500 each and have people make reservations. They're sooo cute, but yeah.. Bullshits. The things people do when they live in the worlds most boring town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dal & Mad's Mom Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 What I think would be interesting and I've thought about doing it, is to send in a sample from a known pb breed that is on the list and see if they identify it correctly. Or, send in a sample from a known mixed breed made up of two breeds that they test for and see if they identify it correctly. You got me thinking to truely test I would guess I'd have to send Gene's sample and Sugars to see if they are similar. I would know if was a fraud if they came up unrelated.

SoloRiver Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 This test is only going to ID potential breeds, not tell you if two individuals are closely related to each other. That would require a different sort of test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the hell would you breed two dogs as a "joke?" Agh! I held my tongue, since the post was over a year old ... but I agree. I didn't get the "tee hee" funny of deliberately breeding mixed breed dogs for major cash either. RDM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mum24dog Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Why are people so keen to find out their dog's make up? I treat my dogs according to their behavioural traits, not their history or appearance. Behaviourwise, this is a lurcher - and these (L-R) are a scent hound a terrier and a collie x GSD (worst behaviour traits of both breeds) That's what they behave like so that's what they are to me. (My BC and my JRT are just that.) If I had a DNA test done on any of them and it came back with unexpected results, maybe I'd start treating them according to expectations of breed make up rather than the reality. Since all breeds are artificially created one way or another it does seem a meaningless exercise to me. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since all breeds are artificially created one way or another it does seem a meaningless exercise to me. Pam I've been tempted to get my mutt tested to see whether she has any herding breed in her; the reason being that I want to try my hand at herding, and would have a higher probability of success if she did. But since circumstances do not permit me to get involved in sheep right now, there really is no point. As far as treating them according to expectations, I'd like to share an aanecdote. When I first met Allie, I thought she might have some border collie in her. So I took her hiking at least an hour twice a day, had multiple training sessions in a day, and by the end of our second month together, a list of her tricks filled a comp book page. Then I was convinced that in fact she did not have any bc heritage. So I cut my expectations down considerably, and guess what? She learned very slowly, developed a few bad habits, and generally was a less happy pup until I came to my senses, and realized I just need to meet her needs. Anyways, as a child of an asian and a european parent, who I am to scoff at mixed breeeds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at her behaviour. Does she show any herding traits? If so, are they strong enough to be worth giving her a trial on stock? You don't have to pay for a dubious test to tell you what you want to know. Plenty of full herding dogs are no good at the job - mixed breeds even less so, whether they have herding blood or not.
