Very interesting because one is most certainly a large % border collie and the other one should have had many types of dogs in him. It was very disappointing to say the least (and a big waste of money). The letter said something to the effect "be happy, your dogs are unique!"Kimberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11457354598109828596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123619179975663900.post-71850390912936205462009-12-17T08:33:27.226-08:002009-12-17T08:33:27.226-08:00If you found a reputable DNA company that you thou...If you found a reputable DNA company that you thought would provide reasonably accurate results, I would love to get Kallie and Chloe done.Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400883027310180763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123619179975663900.post-76069016586360399562009-11-23T05:04:36.045-08:002009-11-23T05:04:36.045-08:00Wise words, Marjorie.Wise words, Marjorie.silvia4dogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06754651331524490306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123619179975663900.post-63994388364867500972009-11-23T04:27:44.923-08:002009-11-23T04:27:44.923-08:00I saw a documentary on DNA testing a couple of yea...I saw a documentary on DNA testing a couple of years ago, and it was in regards to African-Americans getting tested to discover their ancestry. I remember the results being very questionable and the film makers were showing that you really can't use DNA testing in this way with any real accuracy. Perhaps somethings just have to be a mystery and we just need to celebrate the special individuality of each of our fury friends. I can appreciate the need to know, but I think the DNA testing industry is just that...an industry.Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18223031730187915195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123619179975663900.post-82728398249594488832009-11-22T13:20:51.823-08:002009-11-22T13:20:51.823-08:00Silvia,

I doubt ...Ha, there is an idea, Susan - a psychic. <br />I doubt they have coyote in their data base - or even Terv, so that is why GSD for Will makes sense. <br />The other thing that bothered me was that there are broad percentages - anywhere between 37-74%? <br />And if they check ancestry way back then, pretty much no dog should come out purebred, but some do.<br />I lean toward agreeing that it might not be ready for marketing. <br />On a positive note: I'm over it - convinced that I'm right with Terv cross and Australian shepherd - and they're wrong.silvia4dogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06754651331524490306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123619179975663900.post-20087954000430682112009-11-22T04:54:33.909-08:002009-11-22T04:54:33.909-08:00I see a lot of other people on line who have had s...I see a lot of other people on line who have had similarly mind-boggling results. Many are upset and feel they wasted their money. Many are saying that the tests (both by this company and possibly also by another company that vets use) were not ready for marketing.<br /><br />I don't know anything about this company and have not done any serious research on how this all works and what's behind it, but I am concerned about the number of people getting results that appear to be so far off-base.<br /><br />Maybe you should try a psychic instead! ;DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123619179975663900.post-14616663986310118702009-11-22T04:37:22.730-08:002009-11-22T04:37:22.730-08:00What a disappointment!

The only way I could even imagine them making sense would be if the company came with a detailed, in-depth explanation of how DNA tests show up genes from breeds that pre-dated and went into other breeds from way back. They'd have to give me a damned good explanation of these particular results until I was genuinely convinced! Until then, they don't make sense to me.<br /><br />I wonder if they even had coyote in their database or whatever it is they've got to compare to? I mean, I wonder if they're even set up to recognize coyote DNA?<br /><br />I'm so sorry for you, Silvia.
