 Good but somewhat limited November 17, 2008
PowerOn (Jacksonville, FL USA)
Having rescued a mixed breed dog from animal control, we were very curious what breeds were in the mix. The test was very simple with clear instructions. The results were interesting, though we discovered that our dog showed a higher percentage of Basset Hound DNA markers than any other breed - this was interesting given that our dog looks very similar to a Weimeraner. Weimeraner was on the list, though whatever breed marker is the highest percentage is not Basset Hound but rather some derivitive of that breed that is not detected by BioPet, per their information. This makes the results interesting though perhaps not as accurate as we would hope. We now have some detective work to figure out what possible breeds share Basset Hound, Norwegian Elkhound, and Newfoundland markers that might be part of our Weimeraner-looking puppy. Very clever and was worth the price.
some right on, some not so much November 15, 2008

Results came 2 weeks from the day i mailed it. I had been pondering my dog's ancestry for the last two weeks and had a recent insight that she might be part golden rather than lab and that she might also have siberian husky in her, rather than german shepherd or akita. Results were fairly accurate, I think. Only 3rd and 4th level results came back, meaning her parents were not purebred either - not a surprise. I assumed she was part pitt as well. She came back with some bull terrier, golden retriever, siberian huskie, mastiff and pug. The pug is laughable but it was less than 10%. The mastiff I believe should have been Great Dane, which they test for -- and which the shelter and our vet suspected. She is very tall, lean and graceful. I was satisfied with the results because without a photo, they got the golden and siberian husky parts right. It's fun, I believe it is real science but not 100% accurate so I would recommend it to owners who can afford the $50 bucks who have one of those dogs, like mine, with a "Heinz 57" background and a very distinctive look. Now you have an answer for all those who ask -- what kind of a dog is that?

We thought it'd be cool to find out what breed our little dog was. The spca thought he's a corgi/chihuahua, and he's a pretty small, low energy dog. we've had many people tell us he looks and acts like a corgi (of course he's much smaller, hence the chihuahua part).
We suspected he might be a beagle too, and all of these 3 breeds were testable.
The results took more than 2 weeks to come back, and it came back saying our dog was:
- bull terrior
- dalmation
- pug
- italian greyhound
- bichon frise
He has none of those other characteristics and doesn't even remotely look like any of them (well, MAYBE the pug??!)
They should have just came back and said our dog was a cat :)
but hey, if you want some entertainment, it's still kinda fun, we got a good laugh, but it sucked we paid 60 bucks for it. we'll never know what our dog really is, but he's definitely part of our family no matter what.
I think mine was screwed up! October 14, 2008

My dog was tested, he is predominantly german shorthaired pointer and every breeder and dog person agrees (he has every mannerism, colour pattern, etc... of a pointer), but with the face kinda shaped like a boxer. Results came back with breeds completely unrelated, pictures of those breeds seem completely random. He's 85lbs and none of the breeds on their results get close to that size. I think they messed up somewhere. I did check and GSP is on the list so thats not it.
 Interesting and Surprising Results October 14, 2008

We have a rescue dog who looks like a black lab with a white patch on her chest and white on her hind feet. We were told she was a cross between a black lab and a border collie. She was 8 weeks old when we got her. We saw all kinds of border collie behavior as she grew (now one year old) and were concerned that we weren't getting her enough exercise. We saw the DNA test in the gold box sales and purchased it. It turns out our dog's pedigree (in decreasing percentages) includes Lab, Boxer, Siberian Husky, German Shepard and Great Dane. No Border Collie at all!! Very Interesting.
