Has anyone ever gotten their dog DNA tested? Just curious. What were your results? Was your pup 100% Yorkie, or what? Everyone I've talked to said theirs were really far off what they ever thought, and it kind of makes me think it's a scam? Is it a scam? We would love to get Derby DNA tested sometime because of our sketchy breeder situation. |
I don't know if i would ever have Mabel DNA tested! She's supposed to be 100% yorkie but i think she might be part ferret! Seriously tho, i can see having it done if you might be a big time breeder or show dog competetor. also i,ve heard it might be beneficial to do so if the dog had medical problems as knowing what they contain is supposedly helpful. IDK tho.:) |
I had my Parti, Nicholas tested by Mars and his came back 100% Yorkshire Terrier. |
I've always been curious too. I'd love to see what Jackson comes back as. He's clearly either Silky, Yorkie, or both but I'd like to know... oh well, it's not a huge deal. |
I've always wanted to have this done with my 2 dogs who are rescues. One is a Cocker Spaniel but I've always wondered if he was full Cocker. The other I'm guessing is a Chi/JRT mix and I would love to find out if I'm right! LOL. Although, I'm curious how accurate they are too. |

I had a AKC Profile of DNA Analysis done on Zada, Azrael, & Razael. These profiles are used solely for genetic identity and parentage verification purposes. I had this done after I heard some dogs that are stolen are having the micro chip cut out. I wanted to be a step ahead. Doesn't matter to me if there was a questionable character in the "wood-pile". (I doubt seriously if there was though). |

what was the process? Did you send them a strand of hair, or what? |
Gatsby has a DNA number on his AKC papers and i have thought about sending in to see what it would see for fun but have not spent the money |
A friend of mine (that has more money than me) had this test done on a stray dog that she adopted. She thought it was a golden retriever and she just wanted to see if she was right. We all made bets on it and she was part right but he had a traveling salesman in there as well. I think it cost her about 100.00 at the time and that was over a year ago. I have always wished humane societies had that instant technology because I have gone to look at dogs they advertised as Chihuahua's or Yorkies and after seeing the dog I wondered who had made that guess. Sometimes they aren't even CLOSE. |
I had to have Kalani DNA'd when she had her puppies. She was brazilian registry and I registered her with AKC when she was a pup, but when she had pups, in order for them to be akc, I had to DNA her. |

2 Attachment(s) Here is what the results look like you get back. |
We had our stray (not Yorkie) rescue DNA tested last year. Just wanted to know what breed(s) she might be and I was a little surprised. (I asked for this as my only birthday present, by the way. :)) |
what was your rescue? |
