@rebeccawatson I didn't mean to be flippant or disrespect the generous intention behind the gift, and I apologize if it came off that way. I shy away from human whole-genome testing because I'm as skeptical of SNP's correlating "ethnicities" and "national origins" as I am of using reverse inference in fMRI mapping to determine specific cognitive functions. That applies to puppy DNA testing, too. My mutts are awesome & Indy is awesome, regardless of whether they're 12% terrier.
@karabaic fyi literally everyone understands that dogs have been bred for specific purposes, ie eugenics. this isn’t shocking to anyone with half a brain wrinkle. dna tests are a bit unscientific but they’re marketed to ppl with mutts. these are largely the people who aren’t buying purebred dogs and are just goofing. I don’t want EUGENICS bc my living partner got this dumb thing as a gift.
