Molly Revealed: Surprising Dog DNA Results

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

Ok readers, many of you guessed what type of dog Molly is and the results are in from the Canine Heritage. The paperwork originally said the test is
determined to be around 87% accurate of higher for breeds in their
database so the results could have some inaccuracy. Too, if they don’t
have a specific breed type in their database, the DNA can be from a more
“ancient” breed that was part of the newer breed’s makeup.

With that said, Molly was determined to be the following:

No breeds noted in the “Primary” or “Secondary” categories, but 4 listed
in the “In the Mix” category.

In the Mix:
* Chow Chow
* Border Collie
* Collie
* Labrador Retriever

Interested in testing? http://www.canineheritage.com/

Molly’s test was purchased from www.CanineHeritage.com The cost was $119.95. The company has a over 100 breeds intheir database, and the information on the site says they will continue
to add more breeds.

It takes only a few days for the test kit to arrive after ordering, and
from the time you send in the sample (to a lab in California) until you
receive the certificate, the process is around 6-8 weeks. Our wait was
closer to 8 weeks due to the number of samples they received after
Christmas. The customer service rep I spoke with mentioned that they
sold a lot of tests as Christmas presents this year so they expected a
spike (and a little longer processing time) in January and February.

ok dog experts the call is out for you. I told you in a previous post that I had a brother-in-law who got his dear wife a DNA test to find out what type of dog they had. Before the results are in, take a guess. She is gorgeous!

Looking for a stud for a King Charles Spaniel in Michigan. Also looking for a Australian shephard pup (can be a mix) also in MI Please leave a reply if you have info on either.

For a Christmas present my brother-in-law bought his wife a DNA test….sounds a little Maury Povich, but she was thrilled because the DNA test was for their mixed breed dog Molly. This is what people do now. I thought it was just a California thing, I saw this on Bravo’s “Flipping Out” when Jeff Lewis did this for his pack of dogs. There are a few places to do these DNA and a simple search brought me to this business http://www.canineheritage.com/. I will get a picture of Molly to post to see if my dear readers, can guess who exactly is Molly. I’ve also read that in Germany they are using DNA testing to test dog droppings to find out who’s not picking up after their dogs!
