I have seen people get some very strange results from the swabs....
^^ This. I've heard the swabs are pretty inaccurate most of the time... but that's definitely interesting about the blood test. I may be interested in doing that, depending on how costly it is. Did you do the blood test for Cookie? What kind of info do you have to give if I was trying to see if Jackson is a Silky or a Yorkie for example? Because I highly doubt he's got anything else in him but one or both of those breeds. It's really just a curiosity thing...
