I've seen a lot about that company in the past sending back random results, Wisdom panel appears to actually test your DNA but this one is possibly a novelty product.

So we're rejecting the scientific test results because they challenge our existing beliefs? It's 2024, people can be malamute, shar-pei, labrador mixes all they want.

Can someone tell me why it’s this important to know what breed your dog is?

I’ve always had mutts and I usually make an educated guess about what they’re bred from. Which is really all that’s needed, isn’t it?

If my late dog Max wasn’t actually a Basenji/Chihuahua and just looked and acted like a mix of those two breeds… why does it matter?

WindyRebel,

For breeders it is important. For everyone else? Bragging rights.

fishpen0,

Our dog had a mysterious bowel issue that wasn’t treating with the standard food change methods. Vet did a dna and found he’s more chihuahua than Australian Shepherd despite being dead on shepherd by appearance. Then more or less immediately they worked out his issue since chis have specific bowel issues that don’t usually happen in aussies.

So it does have valid uses for assisting diagnostic medicine

If I take the test and they find out I’m a chihuahua, can I just ride around in some lady’s bag all day? Because I’d be okay with that.

So maybe Mel Brooks got some DNA work done while writing Spaceballs.

Hegar,

received human genetic sample and identified it as a malamute, shar-pei and labrador

There's no mystery here, the sample was just taken from three dogs in a trenchcoat.

Burninator05,

If only their media relations team would have been quicker under pressure the whole controversy could have been avoided.

JoMomma,

Were they wrong though?

gregorum,

Doubtful the test was wrong. Highly likely that they cross-contaminated the sample in the lab.

thefartographer,

What part of the labrador did they contaminate the sample in?

NoIWontPickAName,

They got Maui in his wowie

thefartographer,

Ruh roh Raggy!

frickineh,

They’re cross-contaminating a lot then - they gave a CBC reporter breed results, too. Either that or they don’t even test and just pull results out of their asses.

SloppyPuppy,

Wouldnt that be easy to test though? Send the same dog a few times and see if you het consistent results or not.

“Your honor, I didn’t say she was a dog. I said she was a bitch!”

PhlubbaDubba,

Well I mean there is a 70% shared DNA between the two species…

Alright, fine, I’ll wear a condom…

PhlubbaDubba,

metaStatic,

if you need me I'll be in my lab

Lath,

No condom then? Raw doggin' it is!
