I feel like I've been wanting to get this post up forever and am SOOOO excited the day is finally here!!!
(disclosure: I did receive this product in exchange for highlighting the business.)
So for the longest time, Derek and I have been dying to know what Lacy is mixed with. We rescued her in 2002 and although she's obviously part lab, she's definitely mixed with other breeds. Her ultra soft fur would sometimes lead me to think she was mixed with a type of shepherd, but then her furry tail looks like golden retriever. Total crapshoot with this one I tell ya.
Let me introduce you to the Wisdom Panel. With a simple swab of the cheek, this mail-in DNA kit identifies the breed ancestry of a dog back to the great-grandparents. How do you know it's legit? Because you don't send in any pictures or information other than the sex and weight of the dog. Pretty cool right?
So let's get to it. Below is what makes up our Lacy-girl!
Chow? So strange but she can get bitchy towards other dogs if they sniff her butt. And we so called the Shepherd part! It was also interesting to find out that she comes from a loooong line of mutts! I'm just excited to finally know what our girl is made up of... or at least some parts.
And now for some fun stuff....
GOOD LUCK!

Ok that's too cool! I have a little pure bred Pekingese so I don't need to find out where he came from but if I did I would totally be interested in this or maybe I should be to see if he is really 100% Pek haha. I think it is funny y'all called the Shepherd.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I've never heard of this before but I'd love to know what our big pound puppy is a mix of. We believe German Shepherd and Rhodesian Ridgeback.
ReplyDeleteThis is AWESOME. We are SURE that our dog is mixed with something else although when we bought him, he was suppose to be 100% dachshund. However, my in-laws got a dog last winter that is a mutt that we've all been trying to guess what she is for months now, I'd love to know! Dogs are the best friends ever!
ReplyDeleteThis is such an awesome giveaway! We adopted our first dog two years ago and it drives me crazy that we don't know what he is! We have another adopted dog but he is definitely 90% Yorkie so I am not as intrigued as I am with my other one. He looks like a miniature lab! I love my babies! I love the unconditional love they give you.
ReplyDeleteThis is great, I'm convinced our pug is mixed with something. But not sure!
ReplyDeleteI want this so badly! I have a pit mix that is a rescue. He was found on the street so we really have no idea what he's mixed with. It's something I've wondered about for years!

Wow!!! This is so cool!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteWoof! Glad that you were able to discover the line that your pup comes from. Happy 11th Barkday too!

Having a dog around almost always makes things better. Knowing that they love you and ask nothing in return but that you love them warms my heart.
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteTobey is a rescue pup and I'd love to know more about where he came from!
ReplyDeleteThis DNA stuff is so cool. I have three dogs. I have always been a dog lover. They simple want to love and be loved. It doesn't get better or easier than that. They are the easiest friends. I am so glad my kids are also growing up to be dog lovers.
ReplyDeleteI will need to look into this for our shepherd mix. We know that she has Shepherd in her bit like your dog the rest is a mystery. So glad to know we have a way to find out more.
Our dig brings us happiness! She's a rescue from puerto Rico and I'd love to know her mix. She's our 4th child, with no college expenses !

ReplyDeleteSO EXCITED FOR THIS!!!!
ReplyDeleteDrake is seriously the best four-legged child. He puts up with so much from Marcus. He is truly our gentle giant. I couldn't imagine coming home and not having Drake at the door to greet us.
What a great idea! Now which dog to use it on...
ReplyDeleteI love my doggies because they just know when you need comforted. When I'm sick they don't leave my side. When I'm pregnant they lay their heads on my belly. When I'm sad or crying they lay next to me. They're just amazing animals.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this! I would love to know what our rescue pup is mixed with. She looks very much like a lab, but she is very trim and a little smaller overall compared to most labs and we've always wondered what else she may be! Thanks for sharing about this!
ReplyDeleteWe've always had (and always will have) rescue Dachshunds, so there's always the possibility of a mix going on. One of our current two has very tall legs for a Dachshund and slightly wider muzzle than most Doxies, so we have a feeling he's mixed with something and we'd love to know what! Sometimes I look at him and would swear he's mixed with a Redbone Coonhound, but lol, I don't want to know what it would take to manage such a mix.
ReplyDeleteThe loyalty of them is awesome. I would love to try this on our Bullmastiff. Supposedly he is pure breed but we bought him without papers, so we have always wondered.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had DNA tested Tynan and I over-heard my mom telling someone she was considering DNA testing her rescue mix. I think it is nice to know!
ReplyDeleteThis is neat. My dog is a beagle/boston terrier mix (he's registered and verified), so I don't need this, but it's awesome that they make it!
ReplyDeleteI love dogs because they are non-judgmental, and mine are forever by my side. If I get up to go into the next room, all three of them jump up, because they don't want to let me out of their sight and they're not sure if we're going on an adventure or not. My friends or family may not be up for an excursion, but my dogs always are! I love dogs because they are unwaveringly loyal and they don't talk bad behind your back. =)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh-- I am not lying when I say that it seriously was stressing me out on vacation that I wasn't able to enter this giveaway on my phone and I was so worried I would forget to enter before it closed when we got back!! Luckily I remembered! I have always wanted Lola's DNA tested because obviously she is the best dog on earth and I will want to recreate her if something should ever happen to her, like she end up not being immortal....off chance for sure, but still!! This is awesome!!
