There is apparently now an at-home breed test for dogs, the Canine Heritage™ Breed Test. You get a cheek swab kit in the mail, post it back, and in 4 to 6 weeks you have an ancestry breakdown. Unfortunately, it only traces 38 American-standard breeds, which means if other bloodlines are present you can get weird results from more distant recognized ancestors.Why would people do this? There is already parentage testing for anal pure-breed owners. Something like this might be useful in trying to figure out how colossal your little puppy is going to end up being, but since it takes so long to get results you can't really use it to figure out if you've found the right shelter puppy.
Why am I talking about this? Slightly related to her, a potential 'Dolon mitigation unit.
